Bryan and I and Mathew and Jessica are meeting Mark's wife Sandy at the hospital tomorrow. I don't know what to expect in stopping someone's life support. My only 2 points of reference are comical when added together:
1. The movie: "Steel Magnolias" where they decide to let Shelby go and her mother is the only one brave enough to be with her to the end
2. Losing Gabby in our arms to cancer and years later, Penny too.

So...I had to get out. I went for a drive to be alone. While there, I prayed. I prayed like I should be praying daily, but don't. I prayed until the tears wet my tee-shirt. Years ago I asked God for a sign to reassure me of that my Mom was with Jesus when she passed away. He gave me that sign with the first song I heard next... "In the Garden". Tonight I told God how I felt and prayed that same thing again. I heard Tim McGraw's song "I'm Already Home" but only these lines:
And know my soul
Is where my mama always prayed that it would go
And if you're reading this
I'm already home
