I haven't really updated about my mother recently, and it is time.
From the top, after Thanksgiving my mother stopped going to work. Physically, she couldn't do it anymore. She called Hospice back in.
She can no longer walk on her own. She is eating very little, and signs of organs failing are beginning to show. We no longer feel like we're crying wolf.
My brothers and I are here with her, and my sister will be joining us shortly. My brother will be getting married, here in her home, in a month. Her goal - at least a few days ago - was to make it to the wedding. It's been a rough few days, though my father said last night was better.
My cousin and his family came out yesterday. His daughter (8 years old) walked up to my mother, put her head on her shoulder and asked my mother how she was. My mother replied, "I am very sick." Isis simply replied, "I miss you" and my mother could feel the girl's tear running down her own cheek. My mother was so touched, feeling that here, finally, was someone who understood.
Thank you for letting me share this with you. Despite the impending grief, there is a peace to this I simply cannot explain.
mara. my heart.

Mara,
We are praying for everyone in your family. We love you and your family. If you need anything please call. Please give your mom a kiss and hug. I can't come see her at this time I'm fighting a cold.

To Stephanie and family:
I came to know Stephanie through her postings on Leroy Sievers' blog. I have admired her ever since the first entry.
I hope, amidst the sadness of her decline, that some of you have visited Leroy's blog since Mara was kind enough to bring us the latest news. There was such an outpouring of affection and respect.
I searched you out on Google to learn how she is.
I send her and all of you my love and support. I wish her a gentle journey.

If you're still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you'll know which is right for you.
The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it'll do even better in those areas, but for now it's a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod's strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.
