Now I lay me down to sleep.
I pray the Lord, my soul to keep.
If I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord, My soul to take.
God bless Mother and Daddy. And Big Mama and Poppy. And my son and his children (and even his wife). Urchin, my cat, and all my family. And all my many, many, many friends.
Amen

I can’t think of more appropriate words at this time. Linda has been complaining of pain. So they are going to increase her pain meds and hopefully she will slip quietly and peacefully from this life in her sleep.
We knew it was only a matter of time and that the time we were enjoying was borrowed from her eternity. But that does not make it easier.
Please think of Linda and of us over the next few days that it should take for this to wind down. Because I’m not sure I can stand it.
And yet we both know I will.
Because that’s what we do, those of us left behind to wait our time.

A blog to talk about quilting and raising a daughter, which I do in equal measure. I'll also talk a little about gardening, a little about cooking, and share a few pleasant memories. Hope you enjoy it.

You're a true, true friend.
no words, you said it best.
Peace to you and yours, as well as to Linda and hers.
Oh, Lane. . .grace and peace to all of you.
I will cry for you.
Thinking of you.
I'm so sorry. It's almost unbearable.
It's never easy to lose someone. And yet you gave her joy and love, coffee cake, and the thought of her boobs snapping back up in heaven - the incredible gift of laughter at such an unfunny time.
Hugs to you and your family. They seem to feel best at this lonely time.
Sending you all so much love, and prayers for strength and peace in the days ahead.
Peace and grace to you and your family.
We pray the Lord her soul to keep
That Angels watch her thought the night
And keep you, Lane, safe, til mornings light
