Heaven's Tears

It rained hard last night with thunder and lightening and local flooding, as if the gods were railing against ... something.  And this morning, the garden was soaked.  A strange contradiction of sorts - the very weather that poses a threat to living things also brings life-giving moisture.  Anyway, this image isn't really significant of anything other than an insect I like, covered with tiny droplets of rain.

My MIL is mostly sleeping now.  She seems quite peaceful and can still signal that she hears us with a faint squeeze of the hand.  But this strange limbo is hard.  Hubs took some time away today and we went out and had lunch at a patio restaurant before coming home and taking a nap.  He is exhausted and I was so grateful he could sleep for an hour.  Just please keep the good thoughts/prayers/whatever coming that she continues to be pain free and that the end is peaceful.  I'm putting a picture in Extra that I snapped today - my husband's hand holding hers.  Probably should have made it my main, but it felt strangely too personal.  

Hugs those you love.
