Might it be that we are over the hump?
You know I’ve been in this state of mind where someone could tell me right this minute that things look better and I just want to respond, “and then what?” Because honestly the way things look for mom is that we can get through this hump but the true come to Jesus is waiting in the wings. When her brother died of cirrhosis of the liver decades ago, they had told him a year earlier that if he didn’t quit drinking, he would die. We’re waiting for her to get off the vent for her to learn the same fate – stop, or else.
