Went through the same with my mom after our WDW trip last fall. It was really hard. She was able to be at home (under hospice care, so no pain whatsoever--those nurses are so wonderful), with the family all around her for the whole weekend.

I'm glad you all had the trip she wanted. In a while, you will be able to think back on it and smile.

We are so thankful for your prayers. My sweet Mom went to be with our Lord last night. Our family was so blessed to be able to visit with Mom & tell her how much we loved her. We all (about 15 of us) went in individually to talk to her. She was so ready to go see Jesus face-to-face! She kept us up until 3:30 Sat morning cracking jokes & making all of us laugh. It was probably the funniest night of my life. We never knew she was such a comedian!

After that, she pretty much went to sleep & was hard to wake up afterwards. CT scan results showed unbelievable cancer growth. On June 10th, her scan was mostly liver with a few spots of cancer & the other day's scan showed NO liver, JUST cancer, only about 3 spots of liver left. It had grown that much in 1-1/2 months! Anyway, she was moved to hospice Sat afternoon & they said she would probably last one week. We just continued to pray for God's Will.

We could tell that, even though she was getting delotid (spelling?) every 2 hours, she was starting to feel pain. It was horrible for about 15 minutes & we just prayed over her for God to relieve her pain & take her home to Heaven. About 10 minutes later, her breathing grew more shallow & finally stopped.

I miss my Mom SO much, but I cannot describe how wonderful it feels to know that she is praising Jesus face-to-face!! God answered our prayers & relieved Mom of her pain---even though the doctor & nurses suspected she'd make it several more days. God is SO good

She requested that her funeral would be a happy celebration. We're doing our best to plan it that way. I'm just SO thankful we made it to see the whales. Love to you all, Angela

Angela, you've been such a wonderful witness throughout this whole experience. I'm sorry that you've had to go through such a tough situation, but I'm also thankful that God blessed you with such an amazing mother. May God continue to give you the peace and comfort that only He can give. Take care.
