What do you say......
What do you say when someone is dying. Like literally. My family went to go see this woman in our Congregation who was just told she had 2 weeks to live at the most. She is really old and ahs always been skinny and shes just the sweetest lady you have ever met. Now, my sister really wanted to go see her before she left for college, so we went to see her. I just planned on sitting in the car, pretty selfish huh. But I cant handle seeing someone who I know is in pain and is going to die. I don't Handel situations like that well, and I tend to cry because their pain, literally causes me pain. I hate to see someone suffering like that, and if I could take the pain away from them I would do it in a heart beat. No jokes, if you knew me you would know I would. So we went to see her, and oh my word, she just looked awful bless her heart. She is well I think shes around 70-80 and she had lost 40 lbs. And let me tell you she just didn't have 40 lbs. To loose!! Her pants we all baggy and her shirt was really loose on her and she was lying on the couch. We all went up to her and she wanted to shake all of our hands and wanted us to sit and chat. She was the cutest little thing, talking about how she was feeling and how she always wanted to go see Alaska, and telling us all how cute we were, and just talking up a storm. Bless her heart. She really seems at peace with dying, and isn't scared. Let me tell you she is an incredible woman. At the end we all gave her hugs. When I went to give her a hug I told her that I loved her and gave her a kiss on the cheek. For someone who is about to die, they sure do let the light of Christ shine right through no matter what. And all I hope for, is for me to be like that even when things aren't looking good. God bless you Margaret.
