Okay, the story of what happened

to my Mom, in a shortened version.

She and my Dad were praying before

bed, and she finished thanking God

for all His blessings. She started her next

sentences, and all of a sudden was

gone. She had slumped over in bed.

Of course, the ambulance came, etc.

We headed to the hospital, but she

had died pretty instantly. We didn't

know that when Dad called - neither

did he. He thought she'd gone into

cardiac arrest. What actually happened

was from her childhood. She was born with part of her descending aorta (near her heart)

only as big as a pinhead (the aorta is supposed to be about as thick as your thumb). This

was discovered when she was 14, and they operated on it, took that section out, and

reattached the two ends. Over time, that section thinned and last Monday night, burst,

filling the sac around her heart instantly with blood, so her heart couldn't beat anymore.

The doctor said it would have been pretty instant and painless. For which I am very

thankful. It's been a hard week, and it continues to be that. I have no desire to get back

to regular life. I don't want to think about any responsibilities I have, and I know I

need to. Please continue to pray, and thankyou all so much for your support!
