Her Ascent to Heaven

After she had passed away, my son, papaw, mother in law, pastor, and pastor’s wife came to the hospital.  As you may understand, we had a difficult time letting her Earthly body go, even though we knew she had a new body in Heaven.  
Once everyone was gathered together, my mom (who stayed by her side the whole time) explained her last moments and I want to share them with you.  The nurse gave her antibiotics through her IV and left the room.  Minutes later Miranda said she felt funny.  Mom called the nurse Miranda calmly said she couldn’t hear and then she couldn’t see.  At that point, the nurse was in the room and Miranda’s vitals were crashing.  Due to her brittle bones, they could not resuscitate her, but they tried to intubate.  Mom said that she could tell she was gone.  What amazes me to this day is how calm she was during what you would think to be a scary time.  Miranda had been sick in the past and she always pulled through.  I believe that she knew mom and dad were together again and that he would take care of mom, so she could let go and go to heaven where she could have a new body.
*Note the picture* Everyone on FaceBook kept saying "RIP."  I know that's a sign on respect, but for me, I felt like she wasn't resting... she was running the streets of gold.
