Tonight's the Night
One of the big goals for this trip to America will be met tonight! My mother is having all five of her children (Danny, Bobby, Evelyn, Mary-Kay, Katherine) over for supper tonight. She is going to make chicken fricasee, an old family favorite!
Please pray that we will all be calm and good-natured and not overly emotional. Pray that this will be a positive time for each of us. And pray that the suggestions of a wise old man will be met:
I think you should take the time while Ev & MK will be home to set up a family meeting with your mother and Dick.
The five of you should meet someplace (your mother's house?) and talk over the obvious.
Do I need to suggest topics? (Her health prognosis, plans for a funeral, personal effects, statements of love and forgiveness, statements of support)
I do not want to think the worst, because sometimes miracles happen that shock everyone. If anyone could get a miracle, it would be your mother.
I just want you to take the window of opportunity of all five of you being in Portland at the same time.
