List of tender mercies throughout the last days of Mom's life:
-Jonathan listening to the spirit to come immediately and not wait for Tuesday to see her.

-That Kalea had already planned on coming that Thursday and it was a time that Ben already had off from work.

-Blake being off of work the Sunday that he needed to come and say goodbye to her.
-Lorie feeling like she needed to come over to see her and that mom was so comfortable with her seeing her in a "diaper"... it was good for our hearts to see how comfortable she was with Lorie and didn't worry about it.
-That our family listened to God and we spent the last 2 months of Mimi's life with her, bonding with her, loving each other, learning from her, spending quality time here with her.
-That we were able to get the house completely cleaned out before anything happened to her so we could just focus on her and not worry about the mess of the space.
