just diagnosed with Covid

This is a picture of my mom, Janet Watson.  Mom turned 93 in January. She has Alzheimer's,  is legally blind, and is in a nursing home in Alabama.  None of us have been able to see or visit her for the last 3 months and she doesn't understand why.  

    She loves going to church with my sister and brother-in-law, going to Sunday School with her friends, and afterward out to lunch.  She always looked forward to Sundays and is the oldest member of the church.  She misses visits from the preacher, visits from her friends, and most of all frequent visits from my sister Bobbie.

 

    We were informed today that she tested positive for COVID and has been moved into an isolation ward.  Currently, she is not having any symptoms other than depression, not eating well, and more memory loss than normal.

    She loves Jesus wholeheartedly and questions why she is the last of her siblings still living.  It breaks my heart that she is lonesome and doesn't understand what is going on and yet I am strangely comforted that she has been spared that knowledge. 

 

      I know she is getting good care and I know that God will do what's best for her.  Right now I am going through mixed emotions, sad at the thought of losing her yet knowing I will someday.   I value your prayers for her, and for me and my sisters as well.
