August 4

Dad update-
We have progressed to a hospital bed and wheelchair today as he has weakened. We know the journey that we are on....doesn't make it easier but does make it reality.

We spoke today to several people today that didn't know our history. They didn't know that four years ago, our mother passed away from a rare form of cancer. A year ago, our Taellor passed quickly as she lay in a hammock and today, we face the journey of passing for our father. As each of them, trained professionals, looked at us with nothing to say, silence filled the air. 

It's okay not to have anything to say. It is. Sometimes the most profound thing that you can say is just to pray, reach out and walk this journey with us. And sometimes that is in silence.

And we okay. We are.

God ordained their days before they were born. In His infinite wisdom, He has allowed this to happen. Heaven waits just on the other side for those who believe. Satan would have us to be fearful and grief stricken but we are not of this world but rather a people who have the assurance of eternity.

And that, my friends, is where the joy is found.

True joy. Thank you for continuing to lift our family up in prayer.
