It has been a long journey since June; knowing Mimi has a brain tumor, seeing her go through surgery after having had heart surgery in January it was scary. The radiation and chemotherapy treatments have been challenging in many ways; physically and emotionally for her and for her family.
Thank you all for your support; whether you've taken time to think about her, prayed a special prayer for her, sent one card or many, brought over meals, called to check on how everyone is doing....it has all been appreciated. I don't think anyone can know just how much it means to have friends and family until the time comes when you feel helpless and someone comes along with just the right thing to say or do to help you make it through another day.
God bless each of you and I will keep you posted here. She has rested most of the day although she has been awake a few times to visit with some of her family members. She doesn't seem to be in pain but when she gets fidgety or agitated, she is able to receive a medication that calms her and helps her to rest. That is what she needs to do; rest and be comfortable.
We asked for no visitors because she needs her rest. Mimi would say to you, remember her when you saw her at church or at scrap-booking or watching JJ play football or at a family gathering. She would want you to keep that image in your mind and know that she loves each of you.
I could not ask for a better mom in the world and she has loved each of her family so very much. Family and togetherness is so important to her. If she were writing this, I believe she would say; spend as much time with your family as possible...we never know when such a challenging event can occur. Love your friends and have faith in God that He will watch over you.
Goodnight for now and I will post something in the morning......love, Tina for Mimi's family
