It has been some time since I last posted….the reason being that this is my last post. The clinical trial medicine ended up having mixed results…until it was decided by the doctors that it was not effective in treating my myeloma. This was my last option, and I have since moved to home hospice.
I have been blessed to have my mom, dad, sister and nephew with me for many weeks. It has been great for the boys to see their cousin and play in this time of Covid shut-in. Because I have had some time in preparing, I even had a lovely recorded message from my extended family of aunts, uncles and cousins reminiscing of childhood memories and other personal messages. I felt very loved.
And now, as I approach death and passing on to Heaven, I pray for my loved ones in their grieving. I will miss them and fought to live longer with them. However, for me, I feel peace as I look ahead and think of Heaven. I am comforted by the passages on Heaven and receiving “new bodies”. Two of my favorites are Rev 21:3-4 and Rev 22:4-5
And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”
And also,
They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. And night will be no more. They will need no light of lamp or sun, for the Lord God will be their light, and they will reign forever and ever.
These thoughts bring me comfort and hope. For those who know me…I hope they will bring you some comfort as well until we meet again.
Love ALWAYS,
Dana
