I have been through a tough week. As many of you know, my mother has been battling cancer for the last four years. Last Wednesday I received a call from my dad to get right over there because mom's health took a turn for the worst. On Tuesday she was good, running errands in town and doing her normal day to day stuff. By the time I got there Wesdnesday afternoon she was on oxygen and could hardly talk. She could only drink a couple sips of water and had not eaten all day. She continued to decline everyday. For 5 days we had family and friends by her side. Laughing, crying sharing stories. Even though mom was unresponsive most of the time, we would catch her smiling at some of our stories. On October 24th at 12:31am she lost her battle. I went from pleading with God not to take her to pleading with him to please just take her. It was so hard watching her deteriorate like this.
I would like to thank everyone for your prayers and your understanding. I promise once the funeral is over I will get back on track editing and posting your sessions.
I have one more thing to share. This was taken by another photographer on October 24, 2011 of the Northern lights. I can't help but think it is a sign from my mother. I asked her to give me a sign when she reached heaven. What a beautiful angel she is! Love you forever mama.
