Yesterday, Ramey and I visited the very old country cemetery where our mama, daddy, grandparents, and many aunts, uncles, and cousins rest. She wanted to show me the spot she had claimed for the three Ramey sisters, and I whole-heartedly approved.
This little cemetery is really, really old--well over a hundred years old. No one purchases space in it, but you do have to request a spot (or spots) and show that you have family there. Donations accepted, of course.
A very old part of the cemetery
Some relatives
Ramey makes some repairs on the 100-plus-year-old homemade marker of our great grandparents.
Ramey and I visited Joanne and nephew Jed afterwards. Joanne is sleeping peacefully all the time now. Since she is in hospice care, she is getting no nourishment nor liquids. And so, we wait. It feels very weird and sad. Almost unreal. And we pray.

It is so hard, waiting and watching. My sister and I took shifts, sitting with my daddy when he was in hospice. I talked so much to him, hoping he heard. I read to him, too.
I love you guys. You have all touched my life in ways you may never know.
Please whisper to Joanne that I love her and I told my daddy to watch for her. They would have really liked each other.
All my love, to all of you.

We, too, watched over AMIL when she was in hospice care and read to her, taking a lots about the good memories we shared. We requested that the radio in the room be kept on a music station when we weren't there.
Remember the good times as they've been plentiful.
Peace be with each of you at this difficult time.
Love and hugs.
