Watch

The Ancestor has taken a bad turn. She is on her way home very soon, folks—that's what everything inside me is saying. I believe death will come as a gentleman caller this week. I am on my watch. Thanks to all of you who have expressed care in the past. This beautiful life is really just the blink of an eye, isn't it?

Georgia, I love you. It was so good (and so typical) to see you in the Saturday morning sun reading your scriptures, getting strong for what's to come. I posted about you on my blog today. Oh, I love that cute Gram of yours, and I love you, too. I know that gift you have, that graceful way you "dance with death" (your term), will serve you well, and I hope that the love from all of us will, too.

whoa, i always wonder silently about your blogging breaks. and patiently. because i know you are caring for someone special whose life you have been blessing every single day.

thanks for being an example to the rest of us. you rock and i can't imagine what you are going through.
i can guess the greater picture of His Plan might be a comfort (?).

This is the abbreviated version of the response I AM going to write, probably tomororow, to all of you:

The Ancestor is gone.

I've got to get some sleep now.

I ab-soul-lutely love and adore each one of you.

I mean it.

I'll be back with more, really, so please check back, 'cause this just ain't enough of a response on its own.

Jamie said...

Oh, Geo - I'm sending you all my love.

Emily said...

I, who do not cry often - as you know - am crying silently and peacefully right now. Gram was such a wonderful person. I will never forget her kind and generous spirit. She will be missed dearly by all who knew her. My thoughts and prayers go with you now.

LYL,
EEPT
