Thank you Anderson
I listened to your All There Is podcasts this weekend. I will listen to them again. I’ve never had a podcast touch my heart like these. I lost my mother 4 years ago at the age of 85. My Mother was a meticulous housekeeper. When her health began to decline, I took over their grocery shopping, house cleaning and yard work. I had arrived that Saturday morning with their groceries, mom was napping in her favorite chair. After I finished cleaning and doing laundry, my Dad told me to wake her as she would be disappointed that she missed me. It was then, when I stood over her that I realized she was gone. She went the way she wanted....peacefully and before my father. Although her heart was getting weaker, we were taken aback by her sudden passing, but grateful she was able to go easily and peacefully. And as she prayed, before our Dad. Dad was 6 years Older than Mom. He had lost his leg at the age of 87, due to poor circulation, just as his father had. The morning of my mother’s funeral, he was having such pain in this leg. After the service we took him to the Emergency room were he was admitted with an infection and ultimately had to have more of his leg removed a few days later. My 3 sisters and I began staying with my Dad to assist him in his daily routines. He eventually had to have his second leg removed at the age of 92. We had the strongest man for our father. Never ever one to ask why me? Suffered in silence so no one would be aware. The last 6 months of his life we stayed around the clock, handing off the baton. His last two weeks we were praying for a God to take him to join Mom. It was so hard to watch him in pain, a word he would never admit to until these past couple weeks. My sisters and I have were so fortunate to have such wonderful parents and blessed beyond measure to have all this quality time with our Dad since Mom passed. Dad passed at the age of 94, 3 months before his 95th Birthday. It has now been 6 months since his passing and we just finished going through all their things and reminiscing. I found myself for weeks after his death, just going in and sitting in their home. It helped me feel close to them. Thank you for letting me share my story. God bless you and your beautiful sons❤️

Your podcast is a blessing. You words have brought back my memories of my mom. I was her only child and she died in 2005, four months before her 90th birthday. I think I appreciate her life and the sacrifices she made for me more as the days go by.My father divorced her when I was two and she...Read full review »
