    I guess it is my turn.

     I received a call this morning (2019-02-15) at approximately 12:50 AM MDT from Springs Village where my dad was in rehab.  He passed away at approximately 12:30 AM.  I had hoped we would have had more time to prepare for this, but God had other plans.  I am actually happy that he passed quietly in his sleep and didn't linger or suffer.  He is now with his beloved wife and my mother.

    It is a difficult time and I am actually at a loss right now know what I need to do.  I do know that I will be doing much of the heavy lifting over the next several days getting things started before my brother is able to get up here from San Antonia.  I think that is a blessing in disguise as I don't think he will be of much help as it is as the stress of this event is already triggering his headaches from the TBI he suffered years ago.  He will probably be under the influence of medications when he gets here.

    Not sure how I will get through this either but I know I must.  The days to come will be tough, but I know God is with me.  Hebrews 13:5: Be content with such things as you have for he himself has said "I will never leave you nor forsake you."

    I'm very sorry to hear that Lynn. You have my deepest sympathy.

    I misread that as "my depressed sympathy."

    There's too much of it about.  I offer my condolences to you both.

    Must be something in the air.  My Mom died Friday.  I've been ready for it for a couple of years and it's actually a blessing in disguise for the old gal... she was suffering pretty badly and her care took a seriously intense toll on my Brother and his wife (they did a remarkable job).

    "I've been ready for a couple of years" - yes, I remember that feeling well, from when my mother died.  Remember to look after yourself.
