The Family Gathers and Waits...

Just got off the phone with Sharon and they continue to keep vigil by her mom's bedside. Mom's condition changed somewhat rapidly this morning... and the hospice nurse will come this afternoon. This time is a sacred and holy time.... the family gathers and even a grandson, who has not been around much in the last few years, has come. They are supporting one another, reading scriptures to mom, praying with her, holding her hand and letting her know they are there. They also are looking through pictures, sharing stories and memories of a life well lived!

So glad that Sharon left yesterday and is there with the family today!
