Those of you who know me know I'm not a religious person. However, my mother is, and for her, I'm asking those of you who do so, to keep her in your prayers. She has several terrible health ailments, including congestive heart failure, bad kidneys, obesity, diabetes, asthma/COPD, and more. She never feels good or okay anymore, and she thinks her time may be near. She was recently in the hospital and is currently in a physical rehab. She gets confused a lot, and I've long thought she has an anxiety disorder and other mental issues. (She's never been diagnosed.) She feels hurt that many people she has known don't ask about her, come to visit her or call. She was hurt because my boyfriend's pastor called him at home about getting a phone system they've installed to work, wondering if my boyfriend might stop by after work to help them "monkey around" with it, and I didn't tell him to pray for her. (I don't even know this pastor, or go to my boyfriend's church, so it certainly never occurred to me to ask him to pray for my mom, let alone anyone else. I just took a message about the phone and didn't think anything regarding my mom, because I don't have anything to do with my bf's church.) She thinks nobody cares about her (even though I visit her often and call her everyday). My sister lives in another state and has health problems herself, so she can't travel, but she also calls at times. Problem is, I don't know if it's my mom's hearing (which has gotten worse as she got older) or the phones at the rehab, but I literally scream into the phone when she doesn't hear me, and she still doesn't usually hear me. She asks me if certain people have called me to ask about her, but they only use my number if there's an emergency; I don't think it's because they don't care about her. I don't know most of them, so I wouldn't expect them to call me.

I haven't been around here lately, or anywhere on the Internet, because of several reasons, but I wanted to post this for my mom. Thanks to you who pray for her and send good thoughts.
