Mom is not there anymore. Dad brought her home yesterday. There is nothing any dr or hospital can do for her now. She is now in N Stage, tumors are forming on every organ, lung, liver, kidney, brain. She's home.
Dad will come on and give more info. I'm sorry. I can't do this right now.

For Myles--
When evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love
For Mom--
Did you ever know that you're my hero,
and everything I would like to be?
I can fly higher than an eagle,
for you are the wind beneath my wings.
Fly...fly high against the sky...
Thank you, thank you, thank God for you
The wind beneath my wings
When evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love

Thank you, thank you, thank God for you
The wind beneath my wings

I cant tell you how sorry I am to hear this. Im still pouring the prayers on for your family to have strength.
As I read the post where you said that your mom wasnt there at the hospital anymore I was led to go back and read a post of hers just recently. I believe that the cottage she describes is not just a cottage for Stephen....

I am going away to prepare a place for you, I will come back again and welcome you into my presence, so that you may be where I am.

Glorious grace, light..it's beauty, my brother's beauty drove me to my knees. I watched as all those who had entered and left my life because of AIDS gathered around the well, their faces conveying pure joy. My father was there, Isaiah was there, Lynne was there, Silezia was there (my precious daughter), Alex was there, and many more that you all here have never met or knew about. They all gathered and whispered gratitude to me. I wanted to hug them all, embrace them. But I couldn't move, I couldn't bring myself to rise up from my knees. Stephen knelt beside me then and enwrapped his glory around me.
(edit)
There are no words in the world that can describe how beautiful and glorious Heaven is. And when I go there to stay...Ah, joy is too short a word to express how I will feel.
We miss you Tracie but your Spirit will always shine brightly on the Watch

The other night, she went into resp. and renal failure. I flew back to Houston, when I got there Matt told me that they were running scans and tests. They found more tumors forming everywhere and basically told me that there wasn't anything more they could do but keep her comfortable. So I said, "Get her ready, I'm taking her home."
Now, she is hanging on by a thread. We have taken her off life support and she is breathing on her own. She wakes up every now and then, and smiles. She knows she's home and she knows where she's going. She is surrounded by her family, her babies. This is where she belongs.
To all of you who have known and loved her, my deep gratitude for all of your prayers and support. As my baby would say...
"My cup runneth over."
