Giving thanks. π¦π₯π¦

Maggie
We haven't shared turkey and cranberry suace
or mimosas and all the trimmings
but we have shared 48 wonderful hours together
Tears flowed as we talked about death and the fear of dying;
she was comforted when I reminded her she loves Jesus and heaven is in her futureβ¦
she talks to Him a lot, she said.
We navigated our way through mums struggles of coming to grips with her limitations both mentally and physically;
and, slowly, her breathing eased and she slept well beside me.
We laughed a lot too
at old photos
at lovely memories
at Donde, the cats, antics
at each of our oddities
at the simple beauty of sunsets on the farm.
It's been a time of thanksgiving as I say my goodbyes to her today, headed to the States and then on to South Africa and beyond for the next two months...
a long time to be away from her...
comforted by the fact friends will visit her...
Heather will be here for Christmas...
and her angels on earth: Narda, Yesi, Monce and Brittnee will care for and love on her in our absence.
Thank You Jesus for the love of this precious mother of ours. β₯οΈβ₯οΈ
Happy Thanksgiving everyone π¦π₯π¦π₯π¦
