[Dailydrool] Emma who was waiting for her Mom to come home ...

[Ruth Mayberry]

Oh,Beth, I'm so very sorry to hear...

Please...for your own sake, get a hold of yourself.
I am totally convinced that her Mom had a clue and that she left you in charge. You totally did the right thing--loving on her till the end, she KNEW she was loved--it was just her time to say goodbye. Do NOT feel bad--
her Mom made a choice and that is just the way it turned out. 
Thanks for being there with her when it was time. You are very special.
God bless you for what you have done.

In tears with you.
Love,
Ruth Mayberry
