Hello Cuties, I debated to make a post or not, but I know you have been wondering and maybe fearful to ask, about my sister Sharon Sue.

I have spoken with her, which is so good, but also draining emotionally. She has been moved further away, but still in the same state providence. Sometimes I hear her coughs and the machines make it hard for her to hear me. I won't call her for fear of tiring her out, although when she calls she says she is so-o tired... She is still not on the vent. My nephew may have decided against that option. (keep Chuck in prayer.)
Sue still needs prayer and ask on one of the calls, that I pray for her, with her...I couldn't help but think of our sweet mamma when she did.
Mamma had dementia and sometimes wouldn't speak. Not too many days before she died, I was praying out loud for her. It was just her and I, in the room. When I was closing my prayer mamma said, "And Father" so I leaned over her to hear, because the rest was a whisper. I was so surprised she understood and wanted to pray as well. I would love to know what she said to Him....
Anyway, I know Sue is tired. I also think God gives us time to accept whatever His Will will be. At times I am more peaceful than others, about her fate. It's when I speak to her that really upsets me, because of her struggles in her daily life now and in the past. I guess it's human nature to feel all these emotions, the ups and the downs.
Chris's post about how this site, has been and still is, so good for all of us made me decide to let you know how things stand, with Sue's condition. We are a cyber 'family' that care for one another and can 'talk' to each other, whatever we are going through although I would not want to add a burden to any of you, with my concerns. I know everyone is going through this pandemic too. I hope you and your families are well.
Thank you for listening to me, for encouraging me with your prayers and for just being 'my Cuties'. Love to all-Toogie

Arisann, there is a more recent post than this and her sister is back to the assisted living or care home, though still having breathing issues.

My dear Cute friend, I've been praying for your family. I pray the Lord will give you the peace and comfort you all need. You sharing with us doesn't add to our burdens, it only adds to our love for you and our prayers to Him. Thank you for letting us love you through this pandemic. Hugs!

Toogie, as I know that you know, prayer is a powerful thing. We have a faithful and loving God who does not want to see us suffer. I'm continuing to pray for your Sue and all of her family. May God give you grace and comfort as He holds Sue in His arms. Sending you warm loving hugs.

Hugs for you and prayers for everyone. You are in my thoughts and I am glad you decided to post. It sometimes feels better to write down how one feels, almost like dumping fears and anxiety. You have a lot of prayer worriers on your side.
