I am requesting prayer for my mother. She has always been the dynamo in our family, but she has aged so drastically since my Daddy died. She and Daddy were married for almost sixty years and now it truly is as if half of her is no longer there.

She lives alone 150 miles from here and I don't get over there as often as I should. She refuses to leave her home and move in with me or into the retirement center which is only about two miles away. I understand that, but it certainly causes extra worry.

Our extended family is nearby to help her, but she fell recently and injured herself and refused to go to the hospital. She just suddenly looks so feeble.

I woke up early this morning worried about her. I hate the long boring drive, but will probably drive over there tomorrow.

I know I will lose her at some point, but I would love to see her return to her previous joyful, dynamic self.

Thanks.
