Getting ready to say Good-bye.

 It seems that as I age the things I feared are coming to pass.  Saying goodbye to loved ones as they age.  I lost my Dad several years ago, and now it is just a matter of time before my Mom leaves me.  She was told that it could be a matter of a few weeks.

Unfortunately my life is on end here, and can not get to her right away.  My greatest fear is I will not be in time to say good bye.  And that is painful since I was not able to say goodbye to my Dad.  He just passed in the night.

I will be driving home to Ohio in a few short weeks,  so afraid of what I will see.  Not knowing how I will face seeing my once strong mother in her last days.  I wonder how much my heart can take.   It is a huge comfort knowing how much faith she has, I know she is ready to go.  Its just hard to say goodbye.
