My 83 year old mother has been feeling really poorly lately, and unfortunately she is now in the hospital. They are running tests. There is no diagnosis just yet. We are hoping to hear something today.
The photo below shows her at the doctor last week.
I didn't realize how bad the stress was until last Sunday when my brother called me and said "I will be there Tuesday and we will get Mom to the hospital. Just hang in there." I guess the voice message I had left him Saturday where I was sobbing probably did the trick.
Everything I am, and everything I will ever be, I owe to my mother. Her unfailing love and support have anchored me for my entire life. Sharing a house with her these past twelve years has deepened our already good relationship. She is my rock. Please see a prayer for her, for us all.
