The Towering Trees


My Mother

One day I was calling my mother and I was picking up the telephone. I hear this voice telling me, she will no longer be there. I ponder this in my mind and I said "my mother will no longer be there, where is she going?" When I was talking to her she said that she has a bird and she is watching it. I was telling her that I have a bird outside and that it is coming on the railing of my front porch and it is comming in the middle of the night. My mother is asking me to come and visit her and I am telling her that I will come. I am asking my sister to help me buy an airplane ticket so I will able to come and visit. I get a telephone call and my mother is in the hospital, she has pancreatic cancer. I was telling my pastor about this and he gave me the money to go and see my mother. I boarded my airplane and it did not take off for five hours, I was on that plane, I could not get off, they would not serve any water to drink. I was so glad that I had my bottle of water that I could drink. My sister is in Missouri at the Kansas City Airport, waiting for me. We finally took off and weare landing into the Dallas Airport and there were no flights going out, they shuttled us to a hotel and gave us dinner. I am calling my brother-in law and he said that my sister has to stay over night at the airport in Kansas City. The next morning I am flying out of Dallas Airport and landing into the Kansas City Airport and my sister was waiting for me and she is looking so tired and we have another three hour drive to go to the hospital and we arrive at the hospital and my mother is sleeping in her wheel chair and her feet are all swollen up and I falling at her feet and I am praying for her. Both of us are getting her into the car and we are driving her home and my sister already set up her bed into the front room. Right in the view of her picture that she painted. The first night she did not wake up, I was reading the bible to her and singing to her OpenThe Eyes of My Heart Lord. I look to the window and I am looking at the shadow of a bird, the lamp was on the television by the window and the bird and light was on the ceiling but the bird is a shadow and it is walking on the ceiling. I was telling my sister this and she said that she also saw this. I am reading the bible and I was reading my mother the Lord's Prayer. The next day, the nurse came out to see how my mother is and she saw the condition that she was in. The pastor is here praying over her and Hospice is also here and telling us that they are not able to come here tonight. It was Halloween, so the nurse is bringing someone out to stay the night with her. She survived the night and she passed away on November 1. My niece said, I saw a hand," and I told her that we were praying for the hand of God to come. My brother-in law said, I saw Bea, in spirit form and then he said, "Good by, Bea." When I got home, the package came and it was my mother's ashes. We laid my mother's ashes along with my father's ashes under the canopy of the towering trees. Forever, they are together.
