I have lived by that phrase so often.
In a very generalized manner my father was taken into the hospital and this man has survived many things. I don't know how to explain it right now I am out in the blue and all that I know is at some time I will get a call regarding how or what is has happened.
Sometimes it beats me how those that are closest to us at some time will leave. I am fine with that I just don't like being in the dark with all that has taken place. I have not wrote in some time as in many ways I feel this to be something of a private matter. Hence, I am just sending out to my contacts.
Life does seem to throw curve balls now and then - and then some...
Sending hugs dear friend.
ReplyDeletethose curve balls of life are often so tough to take/accept/deal with and we're never prepared for them ~ hugs Jack
ReplyDeleteBlessings my friend, not knowing is the hardest part.
ReplyDeleteWe shall see what tomorrow brings...and thanks much.
ReplyDeleteSeems he left you something too at this sad time. A great love to give. And your showing it,
ReplyDeleteI think you were both blessed. He couldn't have gave it to you if he didn't have it.
I hope it goes well for both of you. Take care
I know where you are right now. I was alone with my Mother when she passed. It is truly an honor to be with the person when they pass. Knowing they went from your loving care to the Lord's loving care is no greater knowledge. Who better to take care of him?
ReplyDeleteThe Lord sees him suffering and is allowing him to come home. Gently, He will wrap His arms around him and take away the suffering and take him home. You will be with your father again. Be strong, he'd want you to be.
God will bless you and give you strength in this darkest hour, just ask for it. If it is your desire to have your heavy heart lightened, praise the Lord, and he will cleanse your heavy heart. Trust me, I've been where you are.
Read Psalms 37:4 if you get a chance.
Sending hugs Jack. No matter how old we are, we are always a kid in these matters, however strong we may be. Take care and I hope you have your friends around to support you in these difficult times.
ReplyDeleteJack, my thoughts and prayers are with you ... you are not alone, my friend ... God's strength will carry you and His grace will fall softly on you, bringing peace to your troubled heart ... sending you hugs and love, my dear friend ...
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure why that is. It's a puzzle to be sure. When dad was going through the worst, I was lucky to have a sister who communicated to the rest of us scattered all over the country as to what was going on. Still, there was this helpless feeling. I wanted to be there but couldn't be there and if I was there, I couldn't have done anything more for him than what was already being done anyway. It's a confusing thing. Having said that, my thoughts are with you and your family.
ReplyDeleteG’day Jack.
ReplyDeleteI feel at a time like this we are all emotionally alone in our secret place, as we are all different, therefore it is understandable to feel that our inner turmoil is unique to us, it is the total feeling of helplessness and lack of control to halt the inevitable that leaves us feeling frustrated and alone, when in fact we aren’t, but is almost impossible to acknowledge their pain is the same or as deep as ours ….Take all the time you need….My thoughts are with you
Hi Jack all we live in different surroundings social ,cultural have different customs it doesn't matter whether we are rich or poor well or un- educated one category is the same for all of us , universal in every corner of the world.. ,,pain.. don't forget the time is the best antidot to transcend hard period .. my best wishes for you..
ReplyDeleteYou are in my thoughts Jack. Take care. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteDenise I thought and thought before writing this and then I forgot about it and I wrote. You know so much regarding how much time I placed into my father. I thank you.
ReplyDeleteYes have done this over and over Nancy and I can't say it's a great thing but today is a much better day than yesterday. As well, I had the chance to get a call from my mother to indicate how things are. So in a few days we shall know. To know is to be able to carry out the process - to not know at all is something that is horrid I can't explain it other than something I have not shared with most. But what is most important for me is that I know. That is truly the most important thing, meanwhile you just keep your composure and do as best as you can.
ReplyDeleteI know I have not wrote on here much I have had a host of things happening and they are not complete yet. Everything is within time...
Katherine thank you. I remember the first time my father was hit with cancer and my mother fell to her knees and started speaking her mother tongue saying prayers. And as well I remember a devote christian - my mother stating "God took a holiday on us". Since then we have learned to understand the meaning of life as well as that life does not always go as planned.
ReplyDeleteI am on my own I have a older brother that will not talk to me as I am executor of things, I have a sister that has schizophrenia and that was a very hard thing but I find support within me as well as I find it by way of understanding difficulties. I have been there - I don't thrive there. And there will be a day when this too shall all pass. Danielle as of today he is not out of the woods, but apparently this surgery on him - for what ever reason as he has been given only a few months too live, it had to have been something within his renal/ kidney area. So time will tell.
ReplyDeleteI am out of the dark to some extent as of today. I thank you.
ReplyDeleteThank you Cindy, we all have things that happen in life and I sometimes know now why so many things happened with me during the last few months. As well I have learned whom in life to talk to when there is no answers. As sometimes there is not an answer to the things that take place, nor is there a nearby person that you can call and talk to. I think it's fair to say I have been working my own return during this time. But this is where I stop thinking about myself and I think about others. It's my nature...
ReplyDeleteMilica, your correct. And I do that I really do.
ReplyDeleteWendy, if all people could pass away in there sleep when that time comes it would be a blessing. Doing alright here and I thank you. I really do. I have not been on multiply at all and one side of me says don't write a thing and then another says it's therapeutic and it gets things out. How I feel - I fell fine and I have not sat around just thinking on this. No way, as well I have my own areas to work out. As I am doing but now and then you have to come to a halt. I believe anyways.
ReplyDeleteThank you Lorna or Lyn forgive me for the name mix up, I just have not been on here.
ReplyDeleteHe left me many things. More than I would ever post. Or could.
ReplyDeleteIt will go as it shall...Thank you much "Had".
Sounds like you are taking care of what you are able to. Time for you is important. Take care..........Lyn
ReplyDeleteLyn, I am...
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts are with you at this difficult time. Not knowing what is happening is the worst part when we are miles away.
ReplyDeleteI hope all will turn out for the best with your dad, my cyber friend.
Take care and hugs.
Taking care of our dear loved ones the most precious gift we could give them when they needed it most ... take good care of yourself too ...
