It was a day filled with laughter. We had said everything we needed to say to her, and we had heard her 'speak' to us as well. All was forgiven, all love was freely expressed without restraint. That was yesterday.
So today, we just sat in her room, played music and made jokes.
I think that's why she decided that it is ok to leave us. She waited until we were ready. All of us were at home.
When she took her last few breaths, we were all by her side. As her heart gradually stopped beating, she was surrounded by loving kisses and tender touches. She gracefully departed with angels by her side, taking the hand of God.
What a beautiful, graceful passing. She left us with one final beautiful memory. So typical of her. Every gesture is made with deep love and consideration. That's mom.
Ruby, your unconditional love to the society will for sure be remembered. God is by your side now, enjoy HIS companionship.
ReplyDeleteJanet, live is great with Ruby and will be greater for all of us co-celebrate all her selfless contributions.
Take care and warmest regards to your dad too, rest well too.
