Jane was sleepy and too tired to partake of the treat this afternoon, so we'll have a foot-soaking tomorrow sometime.
I want to be close to her all the time, but she mostly prefers to be alone. It's like the pamphlet "Gone From My Sight" that was given to me by hospice says. She has one foot in this world and one in the next. She's preparing herself to turn completely away from us, and face our Heavenly Father.
This is perhaps the most difficult part of all. It's like a daughter that is leaving home to get married. She must reject the old family in order to embrace the new. It does not mean that she has any less love for us, but rather she is forming a new Relationship, and her old life is changing.
" Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." 2 Cor 5:17
PS: My sister Pam went to Michael's Landing in Corvallis yesterday morning and brought back some nice, white sand from that beach, along with the water. Pam is an extraordinary woman!

Jane, I remember how you loved to have pictures of beaches and sunsets at work. I think your "wallpaper" background was of a tropical shore with palm trees and a person relaxing on the sand. The picture was taken from far away, so the person looked very small on the wide expanse of beach. You had put the words "This is me" or "Jane here" with an arrow pointing to the person. It was a good visual for stressful times. I hope you find some comfort in your own private "beach" tomorrow.
We miss you.
Love ya,
Marcia
