Mother's Day and a Bit of Sadness!

Mother's Day was a very special day for me. John, Brett, and Trever all cooked us dinner. They stood out in the rain and cooked steaks and dutch oven potatoes. They did a great job and it was so fun to be pampered and taken care of. We survived the wild week at work also, so that was good. My kids all remembered their Mother and I so appreciate that. I love all my kids very much and they are all very good to me.
Their was a little bit if sadness on that day. My sister Myrna has really gone downhill from her cancer and I don't think she will be with us much longer. I had this feeling that I needed to go see her and I am so glad that I did. She is in bed now and as of today, she is not very responsive. I got to visit with her on Sunday and Monday. She held my hand and said she couldn't do this without me. We talked about death and she wondered why it was taking so long? She said she felt a lot of peace and wanted to know if I wanted her to tell Mom and Dad anything? We talked a lot about family and how important it is to tell them that we love them. I told her that soon she would feel peace and there would be no more pain or worries. She said she was waiting for that and to take care of everyone here. She told me I would have to put a lot of my family to rest, which I'm sure I will. I love Myrna with all of my heart and I don't know what I am going to do without her. She has been my rock for me, especially since Mom died. I always call her to ask canning questions and other advice. I hope and pray that she will not suffer anymore and death will be good to here. I love you Sis!!! Happy Mother's Day and Happy B-day today.

I am glad that your Mother's Day was great. I wish I could have been there to spend it with you. It is great that you had time to spend with your sister before she passed away. Aunt Myrna has always been a great help to all of us, and what she taught you with canning you have been able to teach us. I am sure on the other side there will be cheers in heaven as she teaches others. She will definitely be missed.
