Had a long talk with my father
About medical marijuana. It's getting to the point that mom needs appetite stimulants. So we're discussing giving her edibles. The pain is unbelievable. Being devout Mormons they are balking at the idea of using marijuana. It won't be much longer for her.
Ya'll, cherish your mothers and tell them every day that you love them. You never know when it's going to be the last, "I love you." She's a tough old bird and has been through a lot. I have never known her to complain or despair. She just says she's thankful for the pain because now she knows what HER mother went through. My poor old dad doesn't know what to do. They have never been apart during their entire marriage. Every time she went to the hospital he slept on a cot or in a chair by her side. Every night. An old cowboy and his mestizo wife. LOL I love those old fossils.
Sorry to hear that. It was depressing seeing my dad suffer when my grandma died a few years ago. Even if they dont agree, you should sneak some edibles in there, it could probably do alot of good. I think thats what Joseph Smith was doing when he was lying his ass off to the world, either that or PCP.
Really? I talk about my parents and what my mom is suffering and you feel the need to attack my faith?Originally Posted by Kaendar

youre words just brought a lump to my throat and brought up some old emotions. ive lost a lot of people. my dad all my granparents . and a baby girl. so youre words do ring true. i wish youre mother all the best and many happy days to came with you. youre sound a good person and i send my deepest of respects to you and youre family and mams there special you only get one. and the sad ironic thing about life is. if you lose a tv a car youre faith ect you can replace that. but qaiutly time with the ones we love once its gone its gone. i missed a lot of my sons early years and theres nothing i can do to get this back. so value and cherish every moment
Carne, you do what you think is best for your mom and dad.
Forget about that little shit- remember school is out.

The worst part is watching her slip away a little each day. Her memory is all mixed up and she is so confused. The trouble is, she knows it and tries her hardest to act like everything is fine. I spend a lot of my evenings crying to myself. I love that old bat. She's a saint. She sacrificed a lot for us and never once complained. I pretend like I don't notice but she knows. We laugh a lot. I make sure of that. She is so scared. It breaks my heart.
Carne - You could always try using some quotes from the Bible to back your opinion.
For example - "And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat."
It not a sin to ease the suffering of a loved one.
My wishes and prayers go out for your Mother and family.
Thank you so much
I tried that. I even used the argument that Kaneh Bosum is Cannabis mentioned in the bible. The trouble with that is they're both scriptural scholars and can debate circles around me when it comes to theology. AND. They love to argue. It's like living with two Jewish Rabbis. LOL My dad is starting to come around but mom is still adamant. No means no. I would never go against her wishes.
My mom had 4 heart attacks and 5 strokes, so I understand the fading away. My dad died from a disease similar to black lung.The worst part is watching her slip away a little each day.

The one good thing about long illnesses is it gives you a chance to say all the things you want to. I was able to tell them how much I loved them, and then have the time to show it.
I told them how they made my childhood fantastic, that they gave me a strong sense of right and wrong and so much more. I believe you have done the same thing. Bittersweet.
My heart and prayers are with you and your family.
