SIX SISTERS: We wore that as a badge of honor. There were six of us. Six sisters all in a row. It is hard to wrap my brain around the reality that one of us is no longer present. Linda, our oldest sister is absent from our sight, but not absent from our hearts. Her health had been declining for a month or so, with COPD, heart failure, and stage three renal failure. We, sisters, number 2, (me, Carol), and sister number 4, (Lisa) got a call on Tuesday, February 2nd that she was in the hospital. Unfortunately, there was a NO VISITATION rule due to COVID regulations and we could not come to see her. While there she suffered a stroke and became unresponsive. Since we were not there to give a DNR, they put her on a ventilator and a feeding tube. We added sister number 6, (Sonja) and traveled to Houston on Tuesday. NOW they would let us in. . . Gee, but not when she was responsive. It took us a long five hours' time conversing with the doctors until we finally decided to remove life support and a feeding tube to let God do what He does best. . . make that decision as to when she would be transported to her new address, "MANSION IN THE SKY!" orchestrated by God, created by Jesus, and He paid for her privilege to be there by his blood on the cross. That MANSION IN THE SKY where her Heavenly Bridegroom was waiting with open arms to give her, her heart's desire: to be accepted and loved unconditionally like she never received here on this earth, and to know that she has found her home and the place where she belongs.
