Hello Cynthia,
You and I haven't exhanged comments on the forums much of late, but I was very distressed to hear of your Mom's medical problems. You are certainly not "weird" for asking folks to keep your Mom in our prayers. Please remember, Cynthia, that USMS is a community of swimmers that have become a "family." It's in this Forum that we, as "family" members look out for one another. It goes without saying that we've kept tabs on many of our fellow swimmers over the years now and certainly you've contributed to help others. Now it's our turn to help you.
As with everyone else who has responded, I will keep you and your Mom in my thoughts at Church. Please consider taking advantage of the Pastoral Services at the hospital where your Mom is, if that is the case. They provide a great measure of assistance to families whose loved ones have serious medical problems. You are not alone.
Our time on earth is brief, compared to eternity. However, we should take comfort in the fact that if we are of deep faith, we believe in life hereafter. I truly believe that this makes facing our mortality easier.
And ... please keep up the swimming! It has certainly helped me keep off excess baggage!
Take care. God's blessings. Please keep us updated.
