Over time have seen the time man of my father nearing his death. Right now our family is praying very hard that our mother does not pass. As with my father we have always been understood there would come a time after years of 9. And how one can fathom when talking to a older brother and hearing him cry. He is trying to get a flight here for the morning and boy our family is torn right now. Our mother has always been the foundation and always one of high spirits. And proud are the eyes but sometimes a tear or two do come out. Proud, it gets cast aside and you render the best within yourself and you just wait to see what the next day brings.
Let It Be
When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
And in my hour of darkness
She is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be, let it be.
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be.
And when the broken hearted people
Living in the world agree,
There will be an answer, let it be.
For though they may be parted there is
Still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer, let it be.
Let it be, let it be. Yeah
There will be an answer, let it be.
And when the night is cloudy,
There is still a light that shines on me,
Shine on until tomorrow, let it be.
I wake up to the sound of music
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be.
Let it be, let it be.
There will be an answer, let it be.
Let it be, let it be,
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
Sorry for your troubles. Hope you find peace somehow.
ReplyDeleteMy heart grieves for you and your family as you go through this burdened time. Waiting to see what the next day brings is exactly as you say. Keeping you and your family in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteand sometimes we think too much when all that needs to be understood is "thank you for my life"------
ReplyDeletemy thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.
ReplyDeleteI will do prayers of suppliction for you and put you on the list during the Prayers for the People tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteOh dear, Jack, this is sad news! My thoughts are with you and your family! *hugs*
ReplyDeleteThis time comes to all of us-but it is not easy-life encoupases all facets-remember how wonderful she was and it will make it a little easier-:)
ReplyDeleteYou and your family are in my thoughts and prayers Jack,and so many others as well. One day at a time, my friend, one day at a time. You are not alone.
ReplyDeleteNo better song for this time in my opinion.
So sorry to hear this, Jack. This is such a hard part of life--seeing our elders break down with time and illness. Hoping you and your siblings can weather this and be there for one another.

ReplyDeleteso sorry. prayers for you all.
... I can't say anything Jack ... except prayers for all ... for your mom ... for your dad.
ReplyDeletePlease Jack ... hold their hands and say a prayer and talk to your dad say a thing or two, words that full of love ... that's all that is important at the moment. Its the sense of hearing that is last to go ... say to him how much you love him and how much you are thankful for all the loving years that you're with them ... those are loving words that parents want to hear from their children ...
My tight warm hugs to your dad ... Jack ... God's blessings to all ...
You're allowed to cry. And like starsailinglullaby says, holding hands gives much comfort, just holding and letting love flow.
ReplyDeleteI am at the brink of tears myself as I read this. You have my heart felt prayers and wishes. Man type hugs my friend.
ReplyDeleteLast night was tough ....
ReplyDeleteFrank thanks last night was tough as my older brother and I rarely do speak unless he needs something from me. Now that said yeah Frank after a call and what I will be doing myself today...it's been hard but it's not in seeing things. It's the after effects and then my two older siblings....I just wrote but I never break...
ReplyDeleteI think it's due to creativity and the ability to know when to tune it all out...but yesterday I didnt. My father I have seen dying in emerge several times. It's what brought me back here to Canada from NY. But................moving back here recently...it's been a handfull of a year. And this is almost a year. So most have a husband or wife, I had one, right now I dont have that confidiant and so often society - people will just pass you by.....I find peace and shall..Thanks man.
Thanks GG...
ReplyDeleteThanks Sue...
ReplyDeleteKaryn if there is one miracle you could do is indicate to someone on your blog that I knew a long time ago and I would be most gracious if she only knew how things are.
ReplyDeletePerhaps she would think differently...
Thanks Karen...I will be leaving here at noon and do you have a pm? as I would pm you the names to put in....Not me, but for two.
Most passed this all by Terri it's been prevalent for me for a week now...thanks.
ReplyDeleteWe all seem to be on our own tracks.
Heidi, she has complications that are not getting better her left arm now has swollen up. And just two months ago she was doing fine.
ReplyDeleteWe shall she how this all goes as there are many complications going on now and I have seen this several times with my father and
well it is heart wrenching but you have to let it be.......the song was cathardic.
Doug I am not down, well last night I was or became and I snap myself out of it. My brother calling really set many things off. And the basic fact is that he is avoidant to see this...scared. He has always been that way and well yeah. I know most would not write this stuff but I do think of you and so many as very good friends.
ReplyDeleteThank you Lydia....
ReplyDeleteJim, I am fine and good this morning last night - and I don't drink or one would think one was - I was just very down after talking to my brother.
ReplyDeleteDJ yes....you can't let these things be contained I mean a computer can only do so much but I was to the hospital two time yesterday. And well very tired and
ReplyDeletewe men generally try to be so proud. Women can express. Last night I was not some alfa male in any way. With my folks yes and I know in the past I have been
in there taking pictures while things were mildly bad for a brief period - my mother and as well my father but I knew that they would be alright now, I don't wish to
be in the hospital taking pictures....its' not appropriate for me now or right now.
I have to replay this as I know last night I kicked of the computer and watched a show and then headed to bed.
Susan you never knew this was happening did you?
ReplyDeleteOne never tells another what to do they suggest and I know what to do - it's not over till the fat lady sings pardon the words....and
ReplyDeleteI thank you Tessy.

ReplyDeleteJust keep the faith Jack ...
ReplyDelete* I edited what I just wrote here ... am sorry. tess
It is a good thing to be able to express your feelings tears and all. My thoughts are certainly with you at this time. I listen to music and songs also going through things. This is one of the hardest things ever so I pray the strength you need..I'm sorry I don't always know just the right things to say but I hope it helps knowing people genuinely care.
