Visitors have been coming the last few weeks, but all of a sudden, everyone has been stopping by.
We like a little chaos, and mom always has. Here is the standard disclosure....
Please don't bring in little kids. Miss Kelly isn't very responsive, and her pain medicine means she can't really focus her eyes, and we don't want to scare kids. Someone stopped by with the kids in the car this morning and I went and sat in the car with them while the mom visited for a few minutes, and that worked well.
If you're coming for you, because you want to see Kelly, you are welcome to come. We may kick you out after 5 minutes if it gets too crazy or mom needs some calm, so if you are coming from more than a few minutes away, please give a call first.
If you're coming for mom, to be honest, she isn't very aware of what is going on. She probably won't know you're here, so don't come just for her.
If you are coming for us, we'd love to see you and give you a hug. We have plenty of people around though, so if you are coming for us, but it's going to be inconvenient for you, don't worry about it. Even if you don't show up, we know you love us and love Kelly.
We have lots of apples and zucchini muffins, and we're keeping the coffee pot running, so you won't leave hungry!
Thank you for being so loving and for your updates.. we realize you're taking time out to tell us what's going on and it's much appreciated. I'm so sorry that she is in pain. Hopefully the pain pump tonight will be helpful will bring blessed relief . Kelly is well loved as is your family and I know that many friends are wanting to help in someway by bringing food or doing an errand. It is good that you can tell us what you need so that we do not impose on your family..as nobody wants to do that. Please take good care of yourselves as you spend time with Your precious mother. Sending prayers for a painfree peaceful evening of family time...love and a hug Kathleen

ReplyDeleteThinking hard... A got to say good by and pray with Kelly about five weeks ago and it was good, a clear moment... it was good to do that. & letter via email.
We understand what you are saying and want you to have your time and home and friends and family around you all as you most need it...
Of course let us know if there is ANYTHING that we can do for you or get & drop by as we farm, shop, and are traveling around New England & VT. Any whim or treat.
God bless you
always has... The strength of your family is humbling, and inspiring. Tears and smiles.
As you said, you know *We Love You* Again, Thank you for this...
Warm hugs and blowing kisses from MA and Morrisville
