I was going to visit a sweet lady tomorrow, but the Lord saw fit to take her home before I got there. She turned 101 just a couple weeks ago. This sweet, soft-spoken kind lady quietly entered the gates of Heaven...she is now at peace...she was ready to go home to her Lord and Savior. I had even heard her ask my sister "why am I still here". She will be greatly missed, especially by my sisters. I had spoken to her some, and had given her some hugs and kissed her forehead, and told her that I loved her, but I did not talk to her nearly as much as what they had. I was afraid to get too attached to her. Now I wish I had been more attached...I wasn't through listening to her stories, I had just begun. I had been working through my attachment issues and I thought now that I have Mom pretty much settled, I could sit with this sweet lady for awhile...but God had other plans. She used to be a school teacher, and her memory was still pretty sharp, even though she was having so much physical pain....I am saddened, but know that she is happy. Don't ever take time or love for granted. Live in the moment.
