7:30pm, Pacific time, as I sat on
one side of the bed and Popcorn stood on the other, Snickers, Baileywick,
Ladybug and Firecracker were in casual family conversation. Mom’s labored breathing slowly came to a
stop. Her strained facial expression
suddenly became very peaceful. Popcorn
looked at me and said, “I think she is gone.”
I stood up and bent over Mom kissing her on the forehead. Snickers removed the oxygen mask from Mom’s
face and hugged her and we all shed tears of joy knowing that Mom was absent
from the body and present with the Lord.
Popcorn went to summons the nurse.
Nurse Cheryl came in with a stethoscope, and after listening to Mom’s
chest for a moment, she nodded and said, “I’m so sorry.”
