• Bringing Her Home

    January 14, 2025
    Faith, God

    A few weeks ago I made the decision to bring my wife home fulfilling her desire to die at home. ( which is very common). She keeps fighting and eats what she can but it is slowly fading. The most common phrase is ” if we make it to?”. The thing is that it’s true for all of us in one form or another. We all have a tendency to look ahead instead of looking at what is right in front of us.

    For me, I keep telling her it’s going to be ok and she is positive in her thought process.

    It was the right decision and I don’t regret it for one second but that doesn’t make it any easier.

  • It’s Time To Go Home

    December 24, 2024
    Uncategorized

    With tears flowing down my face I uttered “It’s time to go home”. This day had been coming for nearly a decade and the words just came out. When the cancer specialist said that her cancer was 95% he had lived up to his promise. There were no other signs of a problem except that she simply did not eat enough to survive. So it was time to come to her physical home knowing that the next time she is called home it will be with The Lord God Almighty. All I can do as her husband is provide the food that he has given us and then it’s up to God if she will eat or not? Alive Hospice came by the house yesterday and that was a good thing.

    We know that more than likely this will be our last Christmas together and she sleeps I can’t help but wonder if the next time I check on her she will be The Lord God Almighty.

  • Church Friends Vs. Real-Life Friends

    December 20, 2024
    Faith, Life

    For believers of faith they have 2 basic kinds of friends in their lives. Church friends are those you see at your house house of worship and maybe do some sort of ministry together.

    Real friends are those who are in your daily battles of life on any given day regardless!

    Both of these can play a vital role in your life but they are different and to think otherwise you are only fooling yourself.

    Last night while my wife and I were in the emergency room again we were talking about several topics as it has been such a long stretch of issues with her health. I said to her “It sure would be nice to have a shoulder to cry on over all of this” She understood what I meant and has been seeing the toll all of her health issues have been taking on me.

    You see real-life friends are there with their shoulder for you to cry on.

  • Will She Ever Come Home?

    December 16, 2024
    Faith, God, Men

    I was asked yesterday if my wife would ever get to come home. My response was ” I think so.” Well, after spending time with her yesterday, I am not so sure. She has been through so much and this is the most depressed I can ever recall seeing her in our over 25 years together. Having gone through what she has gone through I think anyone would feel depressed. The facility has mental health people there to help her but I will bring in people I trust to try and help her.

    Will she ever come home? Only God knows that!
