David and I have had the privilege of holding the hand of many as they cross over to glory. There are barely words to describe it. You, too, will be used of God during these precious times with families letting go of their loved ones. I know God will work through you mightily. I love you little Rose.Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18237432939352043363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8366847933599915695.post-47195060256923962222013-01-25T15:51:18.828-05:002013-01-25T15:51:18.828-05:00Carina, what a beautiful letter.

I asked Him to reveal Himself to me through these difficult times and that is exactly what He has done. I am so thankful and forever amazed at His goodness.

I think I remember telling you about it. It was at Forsyth in palliative care. The lady had altered mental status. She had so much fluid in her body that even her eyelids were weeping the fluid out. Right before she passed, she lifted up her hands to the heavens and smiled and said "I am ready." I will never forget that image of such a peaceful and calm death. She was fighting moments before but at that exact moment, she was in her right mind and was ready. That happened with my great grandmother also. She had alzheimers and dementia but when she passed, she had a big smile on her face. Jesus coming to take His children home is such a beautiful thing. Thank you for being so transparent with your feelings during that vulnerable time. I love you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8366847933599915695.post-73161230988086676332013-01-24T12:26:36.256-05:002013-01-24T12:26:36.256-05:00You did it again, sweetheart. I agree with Jamie.....You did it again, sweetheart. I agree with Jamie... the imagery you use is pure poetry! I could almost feel your pain... And yet that praise that comes out of your lips... It's so precious! I've got a lot to learn from you and Jamie. <br /><br />My sweet sweet friend. Your mommy was taken from you, but you have a lot of daughters you love dearly. The pain you've experienced has ultimately resulted in great blessing for yourself and many of us. It's a privilege to be your friend. <br /><br />Thanks for not growing bitter at the bitterness of life, thank you for being a sweet aroma unto the Lord. Thank you for being a letter many can read. Thank you for the Love you have and give which is Love from God ministering to our souls.<br /><br />We are precious jewels. You most certainly are. Thank you for teaching me I'm precious too. Thank you for teaching me to believe that God can use this little vessel. Thank you for showing me that, even though the light in me is still little, I can let it shine and be a blessing for others too.<br /><br />Love you lots!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17936946937484720529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8366847933599915695.post-44647235495633112762013-01-24T10:24:09.894-05:002013-01-24T10:24:09.894-05:00Oh Nan, what a sweet tribute to your mom.
