Tonight I'm thankful for all of your prayers. I'm real tired but I'm not frustrated and overwhelmed.

On Thanksgiving morning, We thought Mom had passed on. I really believe she left us for a while. It was quite an experience. She didn't recover from this one like she did all the others. She has been weak and reflective, most of the time since. She LOVES company, and you wouldn't know during the time that it's wearing her out, but as soon as people leave, her BP drops and she is sooo tired. I am not saying that to discourage people from coming, because she would be sad if no one came. Friday morning her 3 sibling were here to see her. I could only get a picture of her with her brother John, since the other two are Amish.

We have had a lot of special moments. Tonight she took my hand and said, “I love you Kathy”. I often told Wil that whenever I’d give her a kiss at night she would say, “bless you”! As if I was giving her a Holy Kiss at church. Sometimes, she would say, “I love you too”. It was nice to hear her saying it 1st.

When her BP is low, she is is weaker and then it’s nice to have two people around to transfer her. Since it was Thanksgiving Holiday, I had Wil and his sister Mary here a lot more.

It seems the Parkinson and her age is getting the best of her.

This picture was taken last week. Mom was wishing she could see the dishes she gave us (given to them by Grandpa Beachys) displayed in the desk before she passes on. The desk was also given to them by Grandpa Beachys, in 1951, and has been passed on to us.
