My big sister is coming in with her husband for a visit.  They will stay the weekend at the Marriot, and then she will come to my house and stay for a week.  I have lots of activities planned...I'm such a teacher!  But the most important reason for her to be here is to be with Mom. 

Mom is doing so well, spiritually.  She is loving the audio-cd books I introduced her to and is enjoying the added attention she is getting from her children and grandchildren.  Although her condition seems stable, she is showing signs of infection which isn't necessarily coming from the cancer, but it is still a concern.

I visited with my daughter and grandson.  They are a gift!  Her pregnancy goes well...just one more month and we get to see who this little girl is and what she is to be called. 

Amazing, isn't it?  My mother, my daughter...pending death and pending birth.  Life is so full of curiosities in the way it manages to present such experiences in a holistic and  spiritual manner.

I am at peace with my mother's fate.  I am ecstatic with my daughter's condition.

I have not spent the time reading your entries and I am feeling deprived as I  truly enjoy reading about your lives and daily goings on.  It is comforting to me to read about the chickens, the teachings, the thought provoking essays, and the daily "mundane" (not to me) life that goes on in other parts of these wonderful united states.  I will get there and read them, once the enegy returns.  Until then, thanks for responding as the compassionate words help me stay strong.
