CHERISHED MOMENTS WITH MOM

These were things that Mom said the final two weeks she was with us.  Some of what she had said left us in stitches.  Becky even said that she was laughing so hard that she had tears running down her legs.  Other times, Mom would have us in tears knowing that we didn't have much time left with her.  Every thought, moment and event we spent with her will be remembered by all of us the rest of our days.  We love you Mom.

 Lisa was folding laundry and mom woke up to say, "that's good Lisa"

 Rachel said, "it's your medicine" and mom said "at least there's nothing by butt!

 Referring to the enema to be performed mom said "A dog fell through the ceiling and was ready to perform the "transaction!". This transaction is Holy Spirit inspired."

 Annie was wiping her mouth due to ensure in the corners. Then preceded to wipe her forehead. Mom said, "I got it way up there? I must have been a real porker!"

 Mom said that she just read a headline stating, "pretty woman drowns herself."

 "I'm dying so fast....I could have been in a car accident..." (mom tilts her head and acts like she's dead)

 "I like it when someone rubs my boobs"  Dad then said "I wonder who that 'somebody' is?"  We all laughed

 "Blame Becky if this all goes wrong"

 Mom did the sign to sing and then we all sang "It's a wonderful World"   (We'll never be able to listen to that song again)

 I'll pretend that I'm breathing (then moves shoulders up and down)

 Told Becky not to stand on her wire (oxygen tube) and then pretended to die...oh well too bad!

 "Becky go to sleep...close your eyes....go to sleep"

 She asked Becky and Annie where we got our nursing degrees. Annie replied "Jack in the Box" mom laughed

 Mom has a bowl movement. Thinks that she is in the restaurant in the boys bathroom. Lisa is asked if she is an employee and to lock the door. She said that she cannot believe that she went to the restaurant in a nightgown. Becky said that it is so pretty that no one can tell. Mom says, "Rebecca....I am a sensible woman."

  We served....black bean soup, mayonnaise and corn starch pudding!!! (referring to Mom's being in the restaurant during her movement.  We all cleaned her up and were laughing the entire time)

 Lisa was the employee of the month

 When Becky and Annie lifted mom up to the edge of the bed...mom said "I'm falling off the Grand Canyon"

 Mom looks over at dad and says, "this is not a good time for sex." Dad says, "why did I pay all this money?"....mom said, "I'll give you your money back!"

 Mom asked about her cancer and what's going on. When she was told what happened, she sarcastically said "I still have the same husband...I still have the same children...I must be living a nightmare."

 After praying for mom...she said, " I don't walk in the chicken spirit, I walk in the Holy Spirit."

 Tiffany came in the room and mom acknowledged her by saying, "Oh, hi Tiffany...the connection is bad...can you hear me?" Tiffany said, "yes, I'm here." Mom said "Oh good, because the cell phone connection is bad."

 On 9-9-13, mom woke up and asked if she could get out of bed. Lisa said that she was too weak and Rachel told her she has a broken hip. she asked if she has cancer and was told yes. She said she was hoping it was just a dream and then started to cry.

 Mom said to Clem, "I love you, you tall Redwood Tree."

 Talking to Jim about her being burned and being scared that a man was looking at her in the hospital...mom was trying to invite Jim to be part of the enema party. However, she tried to tell him the story and instead said, "When I was 5 years old, I was 5 years old....(she repeated that about 8 times)....when I was burned, I was burnt....there was a boy birdie in the room and I'm a girl birdie."

 Rob came in and mom said, "hello you Indian cowpoke!"

 She scratched her boob while talking to Chris and said, "I'm sorry but my boob itches!"

 She called her catheter an "In and Out Burger"... dad called it a "pee shooter" and she laughed.

 Mom was waiting so long for the nurse to come to perform the enema that she said, "my arm pit hair is starting to grow!"

 Mom had just had a bowel movement. She became panicked and said, "I'm not in America." In order to comfort her, we tried to find something to show her that she is in the house. Becky showed her the ceiling fan and she said, "please don't confuse me." Lisa said to find an object...but not a German beer stein. So dad grabbed Pedro...everyone started laughing when Becky said, "Oh great, show mom a Mexican immigrant!" Dad laughed so hard that he had to leave the room.
Becky told mom that no one has a passport to take her out of the country. Mom said, "I know you wouldn't deceive me...." then fell asleep.
