Heartbroken Today

[Ralph1955]

It seems that the last few times I’ve posted here I came with issues. Last night I decided to post here with good news and was about to do just that this morning when my sister called and the world stopped. 

 At 5:30 this morning we lost our dad after a few weeks of him failing. I knew on Friday we were going to lose him. Thank God a hospice nurse was there when my mom saw him pass. At 5:15 this morning he woke mom up when he needed to use the bathroom, smiled at her then closed his eyes. 

 If life is testing me I wish it would stop. I think I’ve passed with flying colors. I’m thankful that I have this special place to come to; it’s a godsend. Just know that I am ok and thank you for letting me share.

I'm so sorry, Ralph.  I pray that God will surround you and your family with God's presence and peace as you mourn your father's loss.  Guard your quit; I'm sure he was proud of you getting your freedom.  God bless.

I'm so sorry, Ralph.  But how lovely to have him make that smile right before he passed.  Caring thoughts coming your way.
