The Final Countdown.

We are just under 48 hours till moms surgery. So many things still to do and time is clicking by so fast. The last few days Mom and I have had numerous chances to talk about feelings or concerns that she is having. I have been so surprised by the fact that she is actually doing quite well. Their are some personal things I know she would like to have "cleaned up" I guess you could say......something in us always drives us to a sort of nesting when we know things are about to change or start over. It feels just like when a new baby is about to be born and you just have to get things done.

Moms nesting has come through the redecorating her hearth room to make it more comfortable for her recovery as well as cleaning her kitchen and closets like a mad women, today we even tackled a horrible Miss Annie's room at my house! I know I am the same way, I am always more motivated before I travel or have company or even at the beginning of a new season to tackle the "dirt" in my house and closets.

Maybe this nesting is a way of cleaning things so that the new places she is going with her body and health can have their own surroundings and memories. This is the who she is from now on and so cleaning out the older things kind of fits the cleaning out of the old bad cells so that she can start a new tomorrow with a healthy body.

It's been a interesting few weeks as we have gotten to this point and I know the next few weeks are just the beginning of the journey. Please continue to pray for Mom and her recovery, and her self confidence. Please pray for Joce as she nears finals for nursing school and mom her right hand helper has to step away from helping as much while she recovers. Please pray for me that I can balance all that I need to do for Mom, Joce, and my own family. I am thankful for knowing that these prayers will be made and that Holy Spirit will be walking with us each and every day. I will be posting throughout the day wednesday to update you on moms surgery and progress.
