Dying Wish

Ryan's mom is dying. We've known this day would come, but I don't really think you can be prepared for it when it happens. And we're not supposed to be dealing with this sort of thing for another twenty to thirty years. We have decided to bring her home and have hospice care come in and care for her part time ~ keeping her as comfortable as possible.

Ryan and I were talking about what our wishes would be if we were dying (more rapidly like she is, because we're all dying one day at a time). Ryan listed off all the beaches, baseball games, etc. that he would like to visit ~ normally that's how I would respond. But my dying wish would be to have a bright, quiet room with soft music playing and have quality time talking to my friends and family. That's it!

that's so sweet, Monners. I guess we're all dying if we don't have reasons to live...

you don't see a lot of young moms die. They have too much purpose, too many tears to wipe (and shed), too much purifying through that beautiful process of motherhood. i love you!
