A Broken Heart!

My mother passed away this weekend and my heart is empty!

I have never know this kind of pain before.  Being an only child and coming from a small family,  death isn’t something that I have had to deal with.  But after 2 years of fighting breast cancer and God only knows how many years of dealing with Alzheimer’s, Minnie Davis accomplished what we all dream of.  She is with Jesus.

A pastor friend told me this….imagine,  It only took 7 days for God to create the world, but it took him 82 years to create the mansion that my mom currently holds the title to.  WOW!  I can’t imagine how beautiful it is!!!

No more cancer,  she doesn’t forget anymore,  she is catching up with some old friends and SHE HAS SEEN JESUS!

I miss her so much.  I visited with her for a long time on Friday afternoon,  by myself. Carol and a friend came by and they lifted my spirits.  We laughed and talked about this, that and the other.  I casually said,  I wish there was a timeline,  of when she would pass.  Carol said,  “Maybe she is waiting on us to leave”?  Just about 5-10 minutes after we left the nursing facility,  she passed on over.  I will believe as long as I live, that she waited for me to leave before she would let go and the angels took her.

What a wonderful woman she was…even though she was not my bilogical mother,  she could not have loved me any more than she did!  I remember her and her life and the legacy that she left.

I rejoice in the fact, though, that I can see her again! 

Please pray for me and dad and my family….for strength, courage and peace.  Dad is so lonely…..I love you all!

Sheltered,

Curt

    You are in our thoughts and prayers at the Withrow house. I know it is hard, but at least we know that we will
    see our loved ones again. If there is ANYTHING I can do for you please do not hesitate to let me know. You
    and Carol have been there for me more times than you know, you both are very special, you are like a
    connection to my dad because he really did love you so much. He always talked of how you could see the
    Holy Spirit in your life.

    This made me remember so much about growing up with you and your family. AAAAahhhh the memories…..

    It made me tear up to read the wonderful words you left to remember your mother by. How true they are. I am like you in sooooooooooo many ways - only child - not alot of death close to my family………..yet no matter when death comes it never makes that time any easier.

    I am so proud of you and who you have become. You were a part of her and SHE IS A PART OF YOU.

    Thanks for always inspiring me and encouraging me. I love you!

    I am so sorry for what you are going through, yet I am rejoicing with for what your mom is now enjoying. I have been in WV all week and had limited access to the internet. Otherwise, you would have heard from me much earlier. Julie and I will be praying for you. We love you, Carol, and Emma Grace so much. Hope to see you soon!
