Foggy Morning Blues :-(

Well, today I'm taking the trip to Gahanna Nursing Home by myself. As I listen to the news they are talking about Columbus having the heaviest fog and to be very careful with your driving.  Gotta go and see my  baby girl, she needs me.  I at Starbucks before getting to Jammie's.  I picked Jammie up her favorite drink, which is Carmel Macchiato with light ice & extra shot. Jammie was happy to see her favorite drink when I walked in.  I looked at her and that smile was gone and she just looked so sick.   She was resting  in her recliner and looked sleepy.  I had brought my camera along today and decided to go outside and take some pictures at the nursing home.n I just Needed some time to relax and being outside helps me feel refreshed.

 Took several pictures of the items around me with the raindrops still on them.  Wanted to capture some nature pictures of rain drops and hopefully how heavy the fog actually is.  I'm relaxing and thinking about being on a hunt for finding picture worthy shots.
Love the rays of sunshine bursting through the fog.
Foggy morning blues............
Raindrops hanging on to the pine needles.  It seems like tear drops are always hanging on to my eyes, ready to release at any moment. :-(
I enjoy the oak leaves that are still hanging on the tree.  It's like the beautiful feeling that fall is here.  In this case, this bare tree with a few leaves still hanging on are the signs of Ole Man Winter is coming.
Foggy, foggy, foggy
Check out the weeds with the raindrops still hanging on to life........just like my daughter is.

 As I am taking my last photo, I see jammie who's looking for me.  We walked back in together.  When we sat in her room; she started talking about things she wants to do today.  She wanted her hair cut and styled for her funeral.  What?  Really?  Yes Mom, I don't want you to have to worry about how to describe how I wear my hair.  You can take a picture and give it to the lady who does my hair when I die.  This is so hard for me to listen to this, and know how right she really is.

OMG, I'm so, so, so hurting inside.  Jammie got ready and I got on the net and made a reservation, so we would not have a bunch of waiting when we got to Great Clips.  I told the lady named Rianna, what Jammie was wanting and Jammie  also talked about her illness.  Rianna listened and I saw tears dropping from her eyes.  It got to the point where Rianna had to stop and wipe her eyes, so she could see what she was doing.  She gave Jammie some extra time shampooing her hair, which Jammie told her how much she liked that.

I prayed when the girl started cutting Jammie's hair I prayed for God to guide her hands while she is cutting Jammie's hair.  I wanted Jammie to be pleased with her results.  Well, Rianna started cutting Jammie's hair and kept great concentration on what she was doing.  She told Jammie she wanted her to be happy with her hair.  Well, Rianna, you did a wonderful job and I love Jammie's hair.   I also cried during the timing that Jammie was at Great Clips.  Just watching the care and kindness Rianna was giving to Jammie, touched my heart.  
Next stop Meijer, Jammie wants a ring that has her birthstone in it.  She had already looked at the ring and had decided she wanted it.

 She told me she wanted the ring I got her in Myrtle Beach to be cremated with her.  Also, she wanted the birthstone ring on.  Jammie got the ring for a great price.  She came out of the store smiling.  I'm still in shock of her wanting to do all these things in preparation of her death.

Tired and hungry, so we stopped and had lunch at Olive Garden with  allot of Veterans since today is Veteran's Day

  4. Jan bauman. Praying for your daughter and your family as you go through this. As Jammie's journey continues may you feel the peace of God which does pass all human understanding. He is with you through every moment.

    Dear Donna. I have been following all of your blogs, and also reading between the lines. I cannot begin to imagine going through what you and Jammie and you are facing every day.
    In December 2013 I reaffirmed my faith in God. I try to be more like him every day of my life. As I think back, I feel honored to have spent time with your family as they grew into young adulthood, and specifically the time we spent alone during times we really needed other; including all the calories we walked off. During this difficult time in your life Jesus has been speaking to me. It has been heavy on my that I need to spend time with Jammie and with you. I know she has given her life to the Lord which I am so thankful for. I am hoping to share sone words of Christ with her and you that may give you peace and understanding to help both of you get through this most difficukt time. I love you both, and your entire family. Please let me know when will be a good time to visit her and you also if you would like to go with me. I would really like to visit in the next couple of days. Anxiously awaiting your reply, Love, Karen
