Many of you have probably received that email that has gone around about Jesus: the reasons why he was Jewish; Italian; Irish and so forth? In each one the mother is extolling the attributes of her son and why he must surely be God.
I don't want to offend anyone,seriously and truly, but my brother just might be the Messiah.
What a week. My Mother has continually declined and on Thursday night/Friday morning, things did not look good. In fact, she said on Friday that she was amazed that she had lived through the night. She had been unable to get out of bed and lay there with oxygen as she was having trouble breathing. I told her that both my sister and my brother would be here on Thursday. Her reply was that she hated to disappoint them but she really did not believe she would be around by Thursday. When her nurse arrived I asked what I should do,and she said to just tell my sister and brother what Mom had said. That no one could predict what would happen.
My sister has had her own health problems since May and this trip here will be the first time she has been allowed to fly. Her health is dependent on her doctors and it was necessary that she see them before she could go anywhere.
My brother and his wife felt he could and should fly in that night. He arrived at almost midnight.
The following morning when he walked into her bedroom and said "good morning" her face lit up and shone with happiness. For the first time in almost a week, she was able to get out of bed with little help. She wanted to dress. When she sat at the breakfast table with him, she ate her first good breakfast. She has since packed away 3 hearty meals. Her biggest fear is that he will leave in the middle of the night while she is sleeping. Even though she calls him by her (deceased) brother's name, she knows she loves him and that he is cute. I am just amazed at his healing abilities. I can only hope he buys a lottery ticket for me. (In all fairness, I too love him and think he is cute!)
