Please pray

For Number One and I to have a safe trip--we will visit my mother who is back in the ICU. We'd appreciate your prayers!

I have put our trip and my dear Mother in Our Lady's loving hands today after Mass and reminded Her that that never was it known that anyone who fled to her protection, implored her help, or sought her intercession was left unaided! :-)

Update Tuesday: her condition has deteriorated: siblings, tears, love and faith in Our Heavenly Father--this is my world now. When today I was finally able to see her, my father and I held hands, just the two of us, looking at her, sleeping, again intubated, sedated, and said Aves... one after the other. Where would courage, strength, hope come from, but from Him?
