Mom and her Mission

Mom has been struggling with the decision about continuing dialysis fors quite some time now. I posted information below about her final decision, but she still goes back and forth wondering if she made the right decision. Last night after dad received a blessing from our dear family friend Gary Jensen, mom asked him if he would help Kib give her a blessing as well.

It was a beautiful blessing, but most notable was the fact she was told very specifically three times she was continue with her medical treatments, hemodialysis, for the time being. She was told she has work to do her still, and that her grandchildren and children need her. She was promised the strength and endurance to continue on for as long as the Lord wants her to stay here. She was encouraged to take quiet time and contemplate all she has been blessed with, and to study the scriptures, and earnestly pray and grow closer to her Savior. She was told that her dear, sweet companion needs her at his side right now, and that is the role she is to fill for the time being.
What a beautiful blessing and answer to mom's prayers. You couldn't ask for anything more plain than that.

The most memorable part of this blessing is the fact that she was reminded she can be of great comfort to her children and grandchildren as we assist dad from this life to the next. What a blessing for her grandchildren to have her here as their grandmother and be able to feel her love and testimony, and use her strength as an example for them and for us to know we can endure anything. Mom has had so many challenges, what an example she is to all of us.

This picture pretty much sums it all up, she has so much to offer her children and grandchildren, and she so much enjoys thinking about them, and checking in on them, she will be a very busy mom and grandma for as long as she is blessed to be here to do so.
