Hi Mom! I hacked into your computer to blog for you because I know your readers will miss you. I miss you too because now I have to take care of Dad... I mean Farguy. Relax... I throw M&M's at him every so often... I waited in the car while his infusion took forever, and I didn't even make him eat cereal for supper. Okay, okay, that isn't want I really wanted to say...
You are doing important work that of a daughter and being by your moms side as she take the last breaths of her earthly journey. I don't like to dwell on how that must feel; the unbearable weight of sadness. Yet on the other hand, how glad Grandpa must be to see her again! In our faith we know we will see each other again, and we know in heaven there is no more pain, and no more tears.
So let's pray:
"Keep watch dear Lord with those who work, or watch, or weep this night, and give your angels charge over those who sleep. Tend the sick, give rest to the weary, bless the dying, soothe the suffering, pity the afflicted, shield the joyous; and all for your love's sake." Amen.

What a wonderful hack! Thanks for giving me all the smiles that came with this post. :-)
Thank you! I clicked the link because it's what I do every day even though I knew Far Side was "off". I was surprised to see a fresh post. Thank you for sharing your journey. What a very appropriate prayer. For those of us with no words, it's perfect. Wishing the Far Side family peace during this time.
Good job taking care of Dad. I know Mom appreciates it when you do that. I'll join you in praying for Mom and Grandma too as she get's ready to see Grandpa again forever.
You're a great dog.
Blessings,
Betsy
Those are such beautiful words you have written! Your family's love and care for each other is phenomenal - - as God intended it to be. THANK YOU for the update. You know we love your mom and have gained a friend(s) because of her blog. It's almost like modern day penpals.
Your words are beautiful.
Amen!!!
it is a precious and wonderful and sad task we daughters (and sons) do for our parents as they transition from this world to our heavenly home... Amen

What a difficult situation. Praying for you and your family
It’s important work, your Mom is doing.
Oh! Connie! Our hearts, minds, thoughts and prayers are with you and your Mom in this time of passing over. For your Mom seeing your Dad again will be delightful. For you and your family it will be a very hard bitter/sweet time.
Hugs and much love to you!

What a beautiful prayer. Thank you Mystery Person, for putting that on Connie's Blog today. We are all indeed praying for Connie's Mom and the whole family. Please keep taking good care of far guy. Hope he can survive on M & Ms and cereal! God bless you.
A lovely post for your mom. We are all praying for peace for all of you.
I love that old prayer.
Thank you for posting for your Mom 💗💗
Sending prayers and rest to the entire family! "Amen"
Prayer for peace & comfort for the family. We've been away on a camping trip this week so I'm getting caught up on my reading. Thanks for stepping in with an update.
May the transition go as well as can be expected. ((HUGS)), it's never easy, even when you're prepared. It is indeed important work.
You get daughter of the year award!
I hope FarGuy caught some of those M&M's I see you have your parents humor :)
Amen. A hard time for your family.
Thanks for sharing that!
Our hearts are with Connie and all of you.
Praying for comfort during this time. It is a hard time for sure and we are never really ready even when we know that the time has come!
Thank you. Like your mom - you are a beautiful, caring daughter. How wonderful 💗🙏🏻
I am keeping you and your family in my prayers. I care about all of you.
I remember when my Mother reached this stage. Several of us were sitting around her bed trying to be quiet. Her response was, talk, talk! She wanted the comfort of hearing the voices of her loved ones.
Thank you for keeping us readers updated on what is happening with Far Side's mother. Please let her know we are all supporting her from afar.
That's a beautiful prayer and so glad you are there for your parents.....you are a great daughter....yes...I know who you are!
❤️❤️❤️❤️
A beautiful prayer. Hugs to your whole family.
