When I snapped this photo through the car window, I loved the look of the angel wing clouds and how the sky appeared to be opening. Today, my soul feels opened like that sky. I am releasing the sadness I feel so that it doesn’t take over my desire to live life as fully as I am able. And now, I am going to be helping my mom live life as fully as she is able, more than ever. Her doctor called today… a Sunday of a holiday weekend. (You know it can’t be great news).
She does have cancer. In 3 places. For the 3rd time. This is the life in this day.

Oh, dear, Gail, I’m so sorry. That is a beautiful photo, and I like the analogy of the sky opening. I’m glad you are releasing the sadness — you’ll need your strength to help your mom. Take it one day at a time, and do be sure to take care of yourself first! (((hugs)))
@slmret - Thank you, my dear Janet. Remember our talk on the beach about our moms? I will treasure, always, my time with you. My mom has become so special to me since she’s been here near me. Healing can happen in relationships. At least, that has been my experience. I promise I will take care of myself. I have sweet friends who will help me in that endeavor! Hugs to you!

I just stopped by and read this. My heartfelt prayers are with you. I know how difficult this is as lost my precious mom 8 years ago. I adore how you brought over a smoothie and feel it such a blessing you live so close to her, as I did to my mom. Again, many prayers coming your way..hugs!!
