For all of you out there that were praying for mama, I am sad to say she has already graduated and gone home to be with the Lord!  She passed away a week ago Thursday which was January 1, 2009.  She was a fighter, and I miss her so much!  Please continue to pray for our family as we go through this difficult time!  We visit her grave on a daily basis, and it's so hard to believe that she is not here with us anymore!  I know that the grace of God will get us through this!  Here is her obituary...

Hurricane Ike has came and gone...Galveston is destroyed, and Houston is gradually being put back into order!  Not everyone has power and there are still evacuees her in Dallas, and who knows how long they will be here???  They need us in this time of need, and if it were me in their shoes, I would want someone to open their arms to me...so my prayers are with these folks!

I was very happy to get my car back on Thursday night!  I'm not too sure who all knows this, but after my last post, when I took my mama out shopping we had a car accident.  We are both ok Praise The Lord!  He truly protected us I believe!  Anyways, it is so nice to have my car back!

Well, one thing I can say is every day is an interesting day with my mother!  She has her moments.  Friday we were out running around and she started begging me to go to the mall, so I took her to the mall and she wanted an ice cream, so we ordered her ice cream and I had to tell the guy that we would be back because she had an accident.  So we went to the restroom and I told her to stay there until I could come back with another outfit for her to wear, and she thought I wasn't coming back so she left and fell down in the mall and the security people said she might have had a little seizure.  She hurt her knee really bad.  I was in JC Penny's getting her an outfit, and they paged me and took me to her.  She said she did not need an ambulance or anything, so her and I went to the family restroom so she could change.  She got changed then we went to get a wheelchair to push her in and then we noticed that she left her purse in the family restroom.  We went back to get it and it was gone!  She didn't have any important documents, but she had 13.00 and some pictures of the family that can not be replaced...  : (   So we got her the ice cream we intended to get at the beginning and then we left and she went to my house to take a nap! 

These days with her are getting harder and harder!  My dad is trying to make the best decisions for her, but I'm afraid that any decision we make is not going to be a good one for her.  She is so much like a little child, and everyday is a bad day for her now.  It use to be just a couple days out of the week but now it's every day!   She cries like a little child and it hurts us to see her going through these hard times!  She has a doctors appointment on September 30th about her brain cancer!  It doesn't seem like it is going to be good news...we have not heard from her doctors like we were suppose to about 2 weeks ago! 

Please continue to keep my mama in all your prayers...I can tell she's not going to be around too much longer, and that means that most of my life I'm not going to have a mother like everyone else!  Think about how much your mama means to you and just say a prayer for our family as we go through this storm in our life!

Thanks for all the prayers!

I just got to thinking about my mama and all the stuff she's going through...she is so sick right now going through Chemotherapy and all.  Every Wednesday she has to go for blood work, and she is such a trooper.  I could not go through what she goes through.  She is gradually loosing her eyesight, and that really scares me because it's going to be so much harder to take care of her.  She will be more complicated, and I know she does not know what she's doing half the time, but I still love her for who she was, who she is, and who she's going to be in the future!  She's the best mama in the whole world!  Here is a poem for her... 

Mama

Mama you're like an Angel
Sent from up above,
With all your kindness, tenderness
And everlasting Love.

You have always looked after me
And taught me right from wrong,
And when I'm down or worried
It's always you that comes along.

You're not just Mama but a friend of mine
A friend I can't replace,
And every time I think of you
All I see is your smiling face.

I thank you Mama for bearing me
And allowing me to see these times,
Because if it wasn't for you dear Mother
I could never write down these lines.

I love you mama...
