My mother’s cancer has returned. It’s still too early in the process to know what the final prognosis will be, but my heart is once again in my throat.
I don’t fear for her ultimate destination; I know that when she dies she will go home to be with the Lord. But I fear for her suffering at the end. And I fear missing her so much that it will be like a piece of me has died.
I know that my generation has reached the age when our parents pass on. I know that death is part of life. I know that God is good and that He has a plan – for Mom, for me, for the next generation. But knowing all of that doesn’t seem to help right now. Tonight I’m just a sad and scared little girl who wants her mom to be well. Even when you’re a 50 year-old adult, even when you've reached the point where you find you give more advice to your parents than you get from them, even when your own kids are adults – even then, you still need your Mom.
Prayers much appreciated……

I'm sorry, Cath... I'll definitely be praying for your mom, and for you too!
Same here! I know these feelings very well, and hope with all my heart that this turns out to be something that can be taken care of and eliminated -- but in any and all cases, prayers goin' up.
My proyers are with you all, Cath. Let us know if there is anything we can do. We love you
Mandee & Scott
