Cherished time with my Dear Mom

These have been some good times and some of the hardest times of my entire life. My beautiful Mom fell early in the spring and broke her femur bone. She of course was rushed into emergency surgery to repair it, but just has never fully recovered. To my horror she was admitted into a Nursing Home shortly afterwards.

To most a nursing home isn't all that bad, but growing up I remember my Mom begging us kids to never put her into one. She had worked in them and knew the in's and out's of that world so she had no desire whatsoever to ever live in one. It has saddened me so much to have to leave her there. Anymore when I do make a trip down to St.George all I do is spend time with her, make a Costco run and head back up to Cedar City.

Regardless how sad it makes her feel to be living there, my Mom continues to smile and have a cheery disposition.  Mom, we love you dearly and cherish the time we have with you...we pray for you daily and are so thankful for all that you have done for all of us! Alofa tele mo oe <3 p="p">

A great night just last week Sunday...Mom had some visitors...I called them angels...Brother Su'a and Aunty Tuli showed up with pisupo and fa'alifu kalo and sang samoan songs for Mom. They were really listening to "the Spirit" just a few minutes before they got there she had called me crying and seemed so depressed! I was pleasantly surprised and greatful to see them when I got there.
