2/17/25 we got slapped in the face with the diagnosis today! Not what I thought heart. 2/25/25 Today has been a very tough day for me. I talked to hospice and looked at the options that were put in my of me. I called to check who to go with and then I stalled! It took me a few hours to contact the case manager. I question myself- is it normal to stall like this. It felt so final making that call. I promised mama that I would put her in a home that I would be here every step of the way. I will say this- I’m scared! YES I’LL ADMIT IT! I’m an a chosen child of God and I get to celebrate these days with her. I have had to have reminders to eat something, drink some more and get some rest. I give you permission to check on your girl if you feel inclined. I won’t get mad at you. If any of my childhood friends want to come see “MOM” she was a mom to everyone!! We have been talking about everyone!! The laughs about the “crazy” things I put her through. I know we have had many ups and downs but one thing for sure- I know I got angry a time or two, because I wanted to make a point! I am so grateful that we don’t have any secrets that I know of. (Well I guess I have a sister) I know that is the disease talking though. Best advice I’ve been given from someone very dear- Just go with it!! Laugh about it and carry on! Thanks Pootie! I had to prepare for home return home tonight. Hospice will begin helping me tomorrow. I love you all and thank you for the prayers for my mama. If you want to come have a cup of coffee or tea let me know and we can share some memories. Never forget I love you!
