ANGEL WINGS

in home •  7 years ago 

May the circle be unbroken by and by dear Lord by and by.
Yesterday evening the Lord took another angel home.
Mom was on life support at St. Thomas in Nashville, TN since about 3 a.m. Sunday morning.

The hardest thing I have ever had to do was to give the order for a D.N.R. with no extraordinary measures only comfort measures.
I said not to reverse anything that they have already done so mom could hang on until out of state family could get there and say their goodbyes.
After the last one said his goodbye we gathered with her preacher held hands and offered her into God's hands.
As they were turning off the equipment I spoke up and told her

  mom you raise four wonderful children 
  and one mischievous devil (guilty)
  your work on Earth is done it's time to
  rest.

Once the machines were off and the breathing tube removed. She was still hanging on (stubborn to the end). I leaned over her and said "go home". While holding her hand she breathed one last time picked up her wings and went home.

Pretty bad when I had to order my own mother home. She is already missed so much.

I'm so sorry she's gone but so happy that you all got to say goodbye. :D This post made me cry because you wrote and gave her such a beautiful farewell. Sending you hugs and love. :D
God bless you and your family with His comfort during this sad time my friend. :D

I still cry remembering the final moment but I know she is in Heaven resting for all eternity.

Yes she's pain free, happy, and guarding over you and yours until you're reunited for eternity. :D Its so much easier to say goodbye when we remember that this isn't the last time we'll see the ones we love. Sending you tons of hugs. :D
God bless you. :D

Bless you, my friend

Keeping you and your family in prayer. :D God bless. :D
