Juergen's mom is getting very weak. She sleeps almost all day. It is getting very hard to feed her. The harder more important thing is she is not drinking enough. Without enough to drink, her kidneys may fail. We have been told by the Dr's that something like this will kill her before the tumors in her brain do. Between the tears, we need to think concretely about what we will do when she dies. This isn't easy. It seems cold. But we are a big family. Juergen's dad will need him (alone without the kids). So now Juergen must think about when to go, and what to do to arrange stuff. He needs to do this so that his dad doesn't have to. I hope our friends will pray for us. It's so odd to sit down with our children and try to prepare them for what is about to take place. I don't think it is anything they can grasp. I don't think they will understand until it happens and we are crying. Even then I am not sure they could understand. Death is part of life...but death is not the end.
My niece had a beautiful baby girl named Olivia Rose (Beautiful name). Everyone is very excited and thank God healthy! Congratulations to the whole family! Hugs to my sister Shelley who is now a proud grandma for the 2nd time. My sister Dianna has 6 grand kids (I think). My brother and I are too young for such an blessing. At least our kids are too young. I'm going to have to wait to be called grandma. Here is a cool picture I took off Shelley's blog. It shows Eric (the tired but proud grandpa) Lissa with her first daughter Charlotte, and then a sleeping Olivia Rose. 3 generations in one shot. How fast life goes by! How beautiful life can be!
