out of this world
We all know that eventually death will come. If not before, definately by age 100. We all know its coming but somehow it feels so unreal.... like we will just keep living on and on and on with out little itty bitty lives on earth. My dad's dad passed away several years ago and it was a weird feeling. I was in the room just minutes before and after. After he died his body was just a body, I actually noticed a difference from when he was alive! I was emotional... happy but sad. Thankfully he asked Jesus into his heart shortly before he passed away!! but other than that I havent had anyone close to me leave this earth.
well my grandma wasnt doing very well these past few months. in and out of the hospital, having heart attacks like once a week. Then a couple of weeks ago, she took a turn for the worst. Everyone know that it was just a matter of time before she was going to fall asleep and not wake up. So my mother and her sister took turns taking care of her at her home for the past three weeks. this last week she couldnt eat or drink anything and didnt respond to anyone. it was like she was already gone. finally friday night she went to sleep forever. Obviously we all knew it was going to happen, but it is still such a saddening time to let go of someone you love! She is in heaven now though and doesn't have to be in all that pain! It made me even more sad to think about my mother someday dying. and how i might have to take care of her like that! That will be so hard! I love my mother so much and just dont want to think about it!!! She truly is the most wonderful person ever! I dont think I would have any sanity or faith without her in my life....... i think as sad as fuberals can be, everyone needs to rethink life every now and then.

My great grandmother just turned 100 in Feb. and other than being stone deaf, she is doing really well.
But yeah... you are right. Its sad, and hard to watch. Hard to think about, but definitely necessary.

I agree! Mother is the most wonderful person!

Once in a while something makes me think of that as well. I just saw a movie (that I extremely disliked) where the mother dies in the end. It's very sobering to think of...but I'm just glad that once she's gone from here, I do get to see her again!!! What a joy! It makes me smile every time I read the verse in I Corinthians..."Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?"
