When you have 12 children chances are a lot of things you need in life can be facilitated by one of us. Mom and Dad helped prepare us in many different ways. Between the two of them a whole set of skills were passed down. Whatever additional skills we learned were enhanced with their morals and values instilled in us, (even if at times we may not have thought we needed them lol). Those traits are evident in all of their siblings families too.
But, there is one skill that in these final months, weeks, days and hours that Mom has relied on, maybe more than any other in her life. It's strange how the timing of things happen and how things work out. It makes you wonder if it's help that comes from above. It just so happened that at the same time Mom would need someone by her side to assist with health care, her daughter with nursing skill would be taking leave of that field and be able to move in with her.
I just wanted to take the time before Mom passes and we end this blog, to thank Becky for what she has done for Mom the last couple of months. I am sure I'm safe in saying on behalf of everyone who loves Mom "Thank You Becky!" She has gone above and beyond the call and has shown true compassion, patience and love. She has been a God Send for all of us and Mom has been well taken care of. I know Becky does not look for recognition in this and considers it a privilege to have been able to do it. I also know there has been a comfort level for Mom too, with having one of her own children taking care of her. Thanks again Becky, we all love you.
