We never know how our lives will wind up. Of course death is never neat and tidy but we live in denial and create a blurry fantasy of gently drifting off into the clouds where angels await to welcome us home.
Miss Tony's husband Les died in his home. Unfortunately Miss Tony has recently developed senility type symptoms. Health workers estimate she fell and lay in the house with her deceased husband for four to five days. She was so confused when paramedics brought her out that she smiled and waved to the crowd of neighbors, like she was a princess on a New Years day parade float.
Well, today I went to see Miss Tony in the hospital. She spoke softly and seemed peaceful and kind of lost. She spoke only briefly but her words made sense. I brought her a get well card with purple pansies on the front, she said "It is beatiful". I brought her a stuffed animal, a monkey with really long arms, legs and tail. She said "He is cute". And she played with his arms for many minutes. She said "I like". In order to make her smile I did some funny dancing and she did perk up a little bit. I wonder if her mindlessness is God's way of protecting her from the pain of losing her life long companion. They were like two peas in a pod. Now she is one seed blowing in the wind. Where will Miss Tony land? There are no children or close relatives. Finally I heard a neice had been located. Please Lord send your angels, surround Miss Tony, and carry her onto her heavenly journey. Oh, and please let her bring the monkey.
