A Time to Say Goodbye

Over the course of the past few days, we confirmed with hospice that mom's time is near. So much has happened so quickly these past two days. She is now unresponsive and we are expecting that our time with her is probably 24 hours or less.

Last night, Pastor James and Suzie came over to lead our family through a time of releasing mom. I know this might sound a little strange, but it was actually really good. We all took our time to say our last words to mom, tell her we love her, and let her know its ok for her to go. I know each of us will cherish that time of closeness and sharing together, forever. We don't know if mom heard us or not, because she was unresponsive. However, as I have said before, many people can still hear while in an unresponsive state. There were some signs that she heard us. To everyone present, she was the center of attention, and definitely heard us!

Thank you for your prayers. We know our time of grief has only begun. Yet, God remains faithful and good, right? The Cunninghams send their appreciation and love to everyone of you!
