1,2,3...never ready to say goodbye

Mom was out of bed for the first time in a week. She and Dad sat next to the fire just enjoying their time together. What a blessing.

When we move Mom, we always say "are you ready? 1,2,3." Then we move her around. She is in a lot of pain all of the time and she hasn't been able to move herself for quite a while.

At one point, she was talking to my son on the phone. After a few minutes, her eyes started to get heavy so I asked her to say "goodbye". She responded "1,2,3....never ready to say goodbye." My heart shattered at that moment. I don't think it will ever be the same again.
