Tonight I have a sense of fear.
This has all been so hard,
And yet, such a blessing,
To be there for my mom.

I have no regrets.

I said I would be here for her,
As she enters this final time.

As I care for her through the night, she lies just ten feet away.
I glance up, and watch her sleeping.
The cancer now taking its toll, we now just wait
And try to make her comfortable.

God this is hard. God this hurts.

My faith tells me that I should not fear death.
But I fear going through this.
This takes more courage than I even thought it would.

Yes, I am fearful tonight.

God give me strength.
God give her peace.
