We are on God's Schedule Now.

My mom came home from the hospital yesterday with Hospice care. And since then, things have gone down hill pretty quickly. In talking to the Hospice nurse, she told me that she estimates 1-2 days. Of course, we don't really know but this is based on my mom's condition and her experience. She assured me that my mom is in no pain. Thankfully.

I will in Detroit tomorrow morning with Larry and Lane. Lane's school is very understanding. Larry has been very supportive.

How do you say goodbye to your best friend, your biggest fan, and the person who always makes you feel safe, no matter how old you are. How do you say goodbye to the woman who gave birth to you and the person who always has your back. The one who spent countless nights up with you as a kid and then countless all-nighters up baking, talking and laughing. How do you say goodbye to the most wonderful woman in the world. The best mom and grandma. Her smile lights up a room, even now, in a hospital bed. Her attitude is so positive and she is loved by all. Over the past four years my mom fought hard, but went on living and enjoying her life. She traveled, spent winters in Florida, baked her fabulous mandel bread and continued to be a part of Sisterhood. She went out with friends and family and never complained.

Nothing I could write, could express how special my mom is. She is my rock. My foundation. I will miss her more than I could ever express in writing.

Please say a prayer for my mom.

Love to all.
