Ms. Addie (84), which most of you who went to ACU knew of, if not, just plain loved her. Her daughter, Sharon, has shared that she is having some memory issues. Don't know the prognosis, but they are running tests. Pray for her family as they put it in the hands of God to take care of decisively one of His favorites...(and mine, too!) And besides my mom, I have NEVER known anyone who loved to fish like her.
A heart of gold she has, put there purposefully, by God, to love all, even the unlovable, pray fervently for many people, lift up those who need encouragement, and to laugh and share the joy she possesses... She always comes back to the Book, the One. Good choice.
God in Heaven,
I know you can hear me. Please be with Ms. Addie, and keep her safe in your hands while the doctors determine what's going on. Also, guide the doctors in the best possible direction from here. Be with her family and keep them close. I pray that Your will be done in all aspects. Thank You for a beautiful gift, for letting me know such a wonderful person, who has weaved kindness and compassion into the tapestry of my life. Let her feel loved as much as she has loved. And most of all, let her know You are there. In Jesus' name, Amen.
I just love her.
- Linda
UPDATE: from Sharon's post: "A Paul Harvey version of what apparently happened to our mom is that she had a stroke. It affected the part of her brain that controls hunger, vision, & speech. That explains the jumbled speech & confusion. She didn't "feel" hungry for 2 & 1/2 days. She was extremely dehydrated as well. She's been admitted to the hospital for a couple of days to rehydrate & then will be moved to a rehab facility. We'll update w/details as we get them. Thank you so much for your outpouring of love for her & all of us! We appreciate you so much!"
