Kathy, thank you for your continued prayers for both me and Mom. They mean so very much to me!
Donna, it's kind of funny...I've realized in the past week or so that many of my fears are gone now. Maybe it was the fear of the unknown that had me so panicked a couple weeks ago. As I deal every day with my mom, I am finding that I can handle this, one day at a time. (Of course, the fact that so many of you are holding us up in your thoughts and prayers is what's really helping in this situation, IMO.)
In a strange way, I think that I'm learning what unconditional love is really all about...it's a participatory type of love...an action, not just a feeling. A very wise priest told me many years ago that love is action, not just emotion.
