Mike,
Reading your last post about it being bone cancer sure took me back. My mom lived with horrid pain all the time, ostensibly from arthritis!
Finally, they realized it was undiagnosed bone cancer...apparently from some unidagnosed cancer of a lower GI organ that matastisized into the bone in her lower spine.
She too went fast- 15 days after the diagnosis. She was paralyized after a mis-hap at the hosptial cause severe trauma..so she didn't feel much after that...
Never saw my mom so covered up in peace, love, joy and acceptance as she was those last days. She knew she was going "home to Jesus" and that was so much better than the last 20 yrs of pain with RA and such...she was READY.
Still helps me to cope... sorry. Just reading the bone cancer and your mom... sucked me back in time like a whirlwind.
Prayers continue for the peace that passes human understanding through this holiday season. Don't question that peace. Embrace it, Mike. It's God giving you release.
Keep the Son in your eyes.
