About a year to a year and a 1/2 ago.. My mom and I befriended a young lady who was brought into the nursing home she was then staying in.
Michelle, who is just 35.. was a girl who at times acted like about a 5 year old. lol Not because she was mental.. but because she was a paranoid schizophrenic.
She also had numerous ailments because she had not 1 BUT 2 heart attacks in her 20's.. and has had numerous reconstructive surgeries on her insides because she can't properly digest her food.
This sweet, and at times feisty young woman who was engaged to be married.. is about to die!
She was such a sweetheart.. and I'll even be openly honest and say that I along with my Mom really came to love her as a person..
This is not hitting me too hard yet.. But Mom has asked me {actually Michelle's fiance and her fiances' roomie have asked Mom {who was also asked} who asked me} to attend her funeral. Her arrangments have already been made as she is probably on her deathbed.
Although 1 thing about her makes me proud.. She has told me and she also told her fiancee both.. She is not afraid to die. She knows exactly where she's going when she dies.
I am sure she's going to die peacefully.. she's been through 1 hell of a fight.. But sadly.. it looks like she's going to lose the battle.
At least God will win the war because he'll accept her into Heaven when she dies
Please pray for Michelle, Michelle's Mom, Her fiancee Jeff, Jeff's friend Matt {who has helped Jeff take care of Michelle} and also pray for Mom and I.. We were probably her 2 closest friends even though she only knew us both about a year..
This is hitting me a little softly right now.. But I know it'll only be a little more painful as the process proceeds
RIP Michelle Moriarty.. 1970-2005
