We all wear many hats, and my current season is one where I'm saying goodbye to my mom.
The song is the Prayer, but instead of Celine Dion it is David Phelps and the daughter Lauren Talley from the Talley Trio singing. David is Lucie's favorite male vocalist ...
The above video is a quick montage, hardly professional, I really need to take some pictures out. Some totally aren't flattering to Mom, but we are whole persons who wear many hats. We aren't always picture perfect, but life rolls on ready or not. As I've said this past weekend more than once, "it is what it is".
While I wish Mom's final days could be lived with gusto, I know she is surrounded by loved ones, and that she knows where she is going. I covet your prayers, that the Lord would take his daughter quickly, that her moments of lucidity outweigh her moments of blankness. This Saturday will be Mom & Dad's 60th anniversary, I'm not sure if Dad will be celebrating with Mom, or mourning ...
Let the angels call her home to Jesus. Thank you all for the prayers that have been sustaining us. Just because I can't stand being serious, might I add, if you choose to watch the video, that I'm usually the cutest one in the pictures. (And does that surprise you that I had to point that out?)
The pictures continue after the music ends, and end with some pictures that are totally blurred ... kind of symbolic (though unintended at the time) of where we are now, seems the music has ended for Mom.
If you haven't hugged a love one today, what are you waiting for?
