God is so good...

Well, I got home tonight, (after a very busy day, albeit, I did have a good ride again on an Indian) I went in and spent some time talking with Mom. We discussed Zane Grey books and some of the locations in the books. I then explained to her that we were having a couple of friends from church come by to be witnesses for her living will and power of attorney to assign me as Mom's proxy. We had an emotional moment as she assured me these were her wishes.

I went on to let her know how good of a Mother she has been, and she readily agreed. She then ate some potatoes and onions and some Tapioca pudding.

When our friends showed up to witness the will and poa, I explained the documents to them and that I had already gone over them with Mom, but that it could be emotional. Interestingly, it turned out to be a very enjoyable time, reminiscing about us boys and Granny's house (which our friends had purchased and remodeled,) and Mom was laughing and in good spirit. When it came time for the paperwork, it was not awkward or emotional and it was a real blessing. We prayed together and said our "goodnights" and "love you's".

In other news; hospice came by today and took over care of Mom. They are bringing a hospital bed tomorrow, and will actually provide many of Mom's medicines and her adult diapers. I think they will be a great help and relief to Dad.

I want to thank each of you who are taking the time to read my ramblings and to pray for the Poore family. It is a great privilege to know the Lord and to have brothers and sisters in Christ who care.
