And a few folks had 'warned' me that Mama Laura (HL's mom) was the 'meanest woman on earth' ... and yet, she and I ... and she and Sissy had great relationships. GOD IS GOOD; EVEN THOUGH WE DO NOT RECOGNIZE THE GOODNESS AT THE TIME OF IT HAPPENING. Mama Laura was in ICU ... and I walked in with Sissy behind me. She smiled and held out one hand to catch mine, as I leaned in to kiss her on the cheek ... and she said 'I love you' even though she had not spoken in days. Then I moved aside and she started crying ... when she saw it was Sissy ... for the next kiss. That time, she put both arms out and added a hug. At the time, she was dying; because her veins had collasped and even an IV drip was not giving her any nutrition. We would spoon water in her mouth and it would just roll out the side. For her birthday, I baked a small cake and my mother was here; so we brought it to her ... and she could not swallow it. So my wise and loving mother said 'wait' as she poured a little milk onto the small piece of cake on the plate. She gave Mama Laura about a fourth of a teaspoon at a time ... and she did swallow ... almost 1/4 of a cup. And we all three cried. A GREAT AND AWESOME GIFT FROM OUR FATHER, GOD ... FOR ALL THREE OF US.<br />DIEU TE BENISSE!!! GOD BLESS!!!Macile Hooper LeJeunehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07874814597239859129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1700186430806836032.post-29905550301494746062009-04-19T14:27:00.000-07:002009-04-19T14:27:00.000-07:00God uses you in many ways Macile.

You do not deserve the suffering... But, knowing the faithful and God-loving person you are, I am sure Jesus will use those moments of pain and suffering for good for someone else...<br /><br />My prayers remain always with you Nanny, and you can call any time. If I don't answer, I am probably at Church, in class, or sleeping. :)<br /><br />Blessing and love,<br />DJDJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06835692937709637939noreply@blogger.com
