Oh how I miss my mother but Iām so grateful for this ā¦. When momma passed away 2 years ago today, February 18th, I was sitting by her bed. She had barely moved for a couple of days. Her vitals were all strong still and the hospice nurse was with us making her care plans for the weekend. All of the sudden, momma opened her eyes very wide, started looking around the room with her eyes lifted upward, and then she lifted her hand up in the air and reached out. She had a spirit of excitement, she started trying to speak but was only able to mouth the wordsā¦..I canāt describe to you how powerful the Lords Presence was in that moment - my sister and I knew exactly what was happening - momma was being ushered into heaven! I laid down across her body and wrapped my arms around her and told her āItās ok momma - go HOMEā. I literally felt her spirit leave her body - it was the most powerful HOLY moment Iāve ever experienced. Actually, I laughed out loud - it was spontaneous and not something I could control. It was a Holy Laugh of joy, we got to catch a tiny glimpse of her glorious home-going. I apologized to everyone in the room for my laughter when I came back to the realization of what had just happened. Those that were there, me, my sister holding her hand, her friend and caregiver Carol and the hospice nurse were all in complete amazement of what we just witnessed. The hospice nurse kept saying over & over ā¦. āIāve never seen anything like thatā! You canāt tell me that thereās not a God & Heaven - momma wasnāt dead for even 1 second ā¦. she just crossed over that thin veil between earth and heaven. š
