Talked with my middle child today

Dear Lord, how I miss her! This will be the very first Christmas that the girls have been apart. My oldest daughter is having such a hard time being without her younger sister.

She came over today, with tears in her eyes, and sat on my bed. She's so scared.
Dear Lord, how do I help her...she knows she's rapidly losing her abilities. A mother should never have to experience this. The pain is unbearable...yet, I must continue to be strong...for their sake.

Tho we don't speak it, we keep thinking...why did she leave...especially now, with the diagnosis. I keep saying she had to do what she felt was best. Though she has moved away...she is and always will be deeply within our heart...deeply within our soul...

Merry Christmas, my baby...we will talk again soon...
