Bad night for the GB family

[GetnBigr]

Last night was a bad night for my family. My mother has finally passed away after fighting cancer for nearly 7 years. Over the last 7 years she has had 4 surgeries and God knows how many chemotherapy and radiation treatments. She put up a great fight and lasted longer than what the doctors thoughts, nearly 3 years past where they thought. She wasn't suppose to be around when I got married nearly 3 years ago, then they said she wouldn't be around to see my son (her grandson). Zach just turned 2 years old. When the hospital turned her over to Hospice, the doctors there gave her 2 weeks. She made it almost 5 weeks past that. She was a fighter.

So I'll be gone for 4 or 5 days. See you all when I return.

I'm terribly sorry to hear of your loss ~ Her sufferring is over now ~

I have a poem that was given to me when my father passed...it helped me a lot...I hope it gives you some comfort ~
From an Angel on high
a tender message of love was softly whispered into the ear
of this humble scribe....

Weep not for me
now that I have passed.
Remember the laughter, the affection, the joy
not just the recent tears.
Cherish the memories, our hopes and dreams.
Hold fast to the love that we shared.
Be happy with the time we spent together
and being anew.
For I am not really gone,
I am closer than ever before.
As the morning sun rises
and throughout the busy day...I am with you.
Until the setting sun disappears on the horizon
and we watch the day turn into night...I am here.
You may feel a faint breeze stir round your head, while you slumber
as I gently kiss your forehead, "Good night."
The stars that shine so brightly in my heavenly sky
help me watch over you and keep you from harm.
I am the wind in the trees
and the song of a bird.
I am moonbeams in a midnight sky
and a glorious rainbow after the storm.
I am morning dew
and freshly-fallen snow.
I am a butterfly flying overhead
and a puppy happily at play.
I am a smile on a stranger's face
a gentle touch
a warm embrace.
Listen to the wind for my message of love.
Watch the sun rise and set in the sky with me.
Feel my essence encircle you with warm memories.
Open your heart to know...I am not gone.
Reach deep into your soul...You will find me.
I am here.
Have no fear.
I am with you,
Always.
