Jeanne's last days she spent in the hospital. When we went to the emergency room I thought we would be home in about 5 hours but Jeanne already knew that her Home would not be where we lived. We were told within several hours that her life would be ending. She requested that our priest come and over the next couple of days there were four visits from our priests. As we talked with one of the priest and he prepared both Jeanne and I for what was to come he said something that brought great comfort and happiness to both Jeanne and myself he said " In a Blink of an Eye" you both will be together again. Jeanne and I held each other for hours. She told me that she was going Home and I could not go with her but that she was going to wait for me with her arms wide open until we are together again in a Blink of An Eye. Jeanne had a very peaceful death she personally talked to over 30 members of our family told them how much she loved them and for everyone of them to take care of me. Everybody left her bedside crying but she laid there at peace with a big smile She told me that it was time for her to go and that they were calling her to come Home and that I would be okay. At the end of her last day I asked everyone including my children to go home I wanted to spend the night alone with her. the next morning I hugged her and gave her 3 kisses and she died in my arms. I wanted to share this experience of what a peaceful death she had and that she was looking forward to being with the Lord. Many of you have lost your loved ones suddenly or through chronic illness and did not have this opportunity to share. I found tremendous hope, faith and love it was the perfect ending for our last chapter together on earth, and the beginning of this horrible chapter for me now. But I have great comfort in knowing our love continues and the Lord is with both of us. Remember in a 'BLINK OF AN EYE" you too will be re united with the love of your life. God Bless

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...

Your right, I also lost my love in a "Blink of an Eye" and each day I get closer to being with him.
Take care

My husband seemed healthy, went to work and had an aneurysm. I never spoke to him again, but I've taken great comfort in knowing that in the blink of an eye I will see him again. We used to talk about it when he was on earth. It made us happy to talk about Heaven and how we will one day be there together. At the time, we were both healthy and expected a long life here.
