Thank you, Marie. I am just trying to stay strong as I want to be there for other family members who will need me.
My MIL had been sick for years since my daughter was born who is now 17. She started taking lots of meds for her many ailments and then seem to lose track of days/weeks at a time. Suffered mentally and physically and thinking I was mad at her for a few years when I wasn't...the drugs did this to her. She would never want us to come and visit her....always said she was too sick. Never would pick up the phone when we would call. Just this pass Christmas she said for us to come down to visit her. I could not believe it! The first in about 4 years! She was just like her old self. She seemed so positive and was talking about going to visit her mom with us. (her mom is about 95) Talking about moving closer to us and seeing more of us. Told DD to stay in the light cuz Jesus is in the light. I never even told her what DD was going thru lately with some of the troubles we had with her, as if she sensed something. Started sending the children more cards in the mail for birthdays, Christmas, etc. As if she was trying to make amends....like she knew it was going to be her time. I dunno. I just know I will miss her even more now since I got to see her as her ole' self again just recently and now shes gone.
