Facing A Loss

At 11:00 PM last night I got a call from my sister telling me that my mother, who is 87 years old, was taken to the hospital with fluid forming around her heart.

She is not expected to live.

This is not the first time she has faced death.

In 1957 whe was told that she had, on the outside, 5 years to live. She had lost one and one-half kidneys, and had a uteral infection that required the taking of my unborn sister in order to save my mother's life.

Last year she was expected to die one night, but instead went home to live a little longer.

I do not have much optimism about this time, but have placed it all in God's hands. He knows and will do what is best.

Please pray for the family as we face this crisis.

Thank you.
