THROUGH HAWAIIAN EYES said...

Thank you my sweet sister for your comments and kind words. It is here on my blog where I feel most at ease and at peace during this time. My mother suffered for 10 years with Cancer a GIST (Gastrointestinal Stromal Tumor) with ulceration, CHF (Congestive Heart Failure), Diabetes, Hypertension, and (COPD), Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder due to repeated hernia surgeries that damaged her lungs. She had a Mercer Infection on both legs. Her skin was being eaten by this flesh-eating disease.

In her final days and when she died, I cleaned her legs with my brother, Kai and the Hospice Nurse, Lisa. We had to wear gloves. It took 2 hours to prepare our mother to be picked up by Dodo Mortuary in Hilo. It was a 70 mile round trip. She was placed in a body bag and as she was being carried downstairs, her arm fell out of the body bag as if she was still alive.

She had a will to fight death until the end. She wanted her family to mend their problems and anger towards one another and we all did. There
is my sister and my father in which she and I must come to some kind of peace with him. He is now elderly and needs medical attention.

My brother reached out to a beautiful man that does Lauhala weaving and he made this lauhala urn for our mother. My brother was closest to our mother. He suffered greatly as I and my family has
all these years due to her illnesses.

May God continue to inspire my heart and ignite
my soul with a passion to heal and love others for
I know what not being loved as a child and into adulthood by my parents is all about. This is why I became a physician, and that is to heal. I heal the entire mind, body, and spirit.

In the name of Jesus Christ,
Amen

My Darling Daughter,

Having just lost my sister and most precious best friend on Easter morning, I am still at a loss without her, so my heart so goes out to you.

I was lying in bed last night, and thought, "Oh I need to call Carol and tell her about, what someone had said! And the reality once again slapped me in the face, I can no longer just pick up that phone, and push a button and her voice will answer, and as always before, she would say, "What's up Billie girl?"

I will never hear her say those words again, an dI still have not come to terms with that. So I know it takes time, and it will take YOU time, and then more time.

But always remember, you have another mother here in California, who even tho you have never seen nor spoken to, I hold your heart within mine, and you will always have me to come to as long as I am here.

My phone regular email is billieftb@gmail.com, if you want to write to me. I will give you my phone number or you can give me your's and I would love for you to call, and say those words to me.

By the way, Carol always wanted to go to Hawaii, and her daughter is taking her ashes there in the next few months. What a small world we live in my darling girl.

I love you, I admire you, and I will always if possiable be here for you.
