Thank you all for your many prayers. I am feeling better and was able to get some medications when we got back to Texas.
I wish that I could say that our family had a Merry Christmas, but unfortunately, this has been a long day filled with many tears. My youngest brother calls me every morning, but he did not call this morning. After trying to call him several times, I decided that something was not right so I drove out to his house. As I entered the back door, I saw him lying on the floor. He had a massive heart attack and was already gone when I got there. Aside from my many tears and my broken heart, I can’t think of a better day than Christmas day to go to be with the Lord. What a fabulous rejoicing there must be in Heaven.
Please keep my family in your prayers..
Love to you all
Shug.

What an awful occurrence, Shug! I'm so sorry for you and all those who loved your brother. I'm praying for your peace of mind, knowing he's spending Christmas with our Father. Like that dear song, I can only imagine!
ReplyDeleteOh Shug, I am so so sorry. Please accept my deepest sympathies. You are correct- there is not a better day to go to be with our Lord than Christmas Day. Many prayers for you and your family.
ReplyDeleteOh, Im so sorry. How terrible for you to find him...but how precious that at that moment he was carried into the arms of Jesus. Christmas just seems to be a time of joy and sadness. I lost my Dad at Christmas many years ago. We will keep you in our prayers and pray that the peace that passes all understanding will hold you tight! Love and Hugs

Oh my goodness...I am so sorry. That bought such painful memories for me, as I found my son (12/11/21)...so sorry I wish I could take your pain away. Sending you much love my friend.
