I have met with the intake hospice nurse. I’m starting the process of end of life protocol. It’s pretty emotional stuff. Pain is becoming noticeable and constant. Not terrible but it’s there. I meet with my weekly nurse today. I guess I shouldn’t be scared because they make the transition as peaceful as possible. I told her I don’t want to pass at home so hopefully when my time is near, I can go to Canterbury Place in Lawrenceville. I’ll keep updating as my energy allows. I’m starting to be more tired but still manage day to day life around the house. Laundry, loading dishwasher, vacuuming etc. I’m glad we are enjoying cooler weather. I finally managed to grow mini sunflowers this summer so I outsmarted the deer for the first time. I don’t want to leave the planet. I don’t know if there is anyone waiting on the other side. No one knows. I think our souls just zoom out into space.and then it’s a wrap.
Ah Vicki, reading your journey has been an interesting experience, thank you for documenting it. You are so creative. This news is stunning. I think of Mike and Anthony digesting what this means as well.
I pray, yes pray, that you take the chance that just maybe Jesus is real. I know he is, for I abide in him and he abides in me. He is as real to me as breathing. He has spoken, guided, taught…. you name it, into my life. You are an amazing woman, created by God. He offers you another gift, which requires that you receive it and accept it. Eternal life, not buzzing away into the atmosphere. Life in the presence of Jesus, who paid the price for our sins, but each must invite him in individually, and present ourselves as humbly needing a Savior. We are not gods, not even our own creators or stewards of life.
Lord, stand at Vicki’s door and knock. Reveal your love, grace and winsomeness to walk her through these days. I know because you have been faithful all these years, and know that you are the answer.
