Love you and hope and pray you find peace.

As our parents age...Shug, my heart goes out to you. As our parents age it is very difficult to switch roles and become the one who has to make the tough choices. The main thing is your dad has to be safe, and although it's not your preference to let someone else do it, he will get 24/7 personal care from people who are experienced with his condition. I'm sorry about the delay with his room...hopefully they will have it ready soon. Pray without ceasing and rely on your support system. I will pray for you, too. So sorry, dear girl! God is with you in the valley and he sees your heart for others. It'll all work out.

We can see that we are not the only ones who struggle, everyone carries a burden. We will continue to pray...maybe this was a sign to not do it? But do not do something if you don't think you can live with it.Ginny Hartzlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09329131153403895625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-856115860459514900.post-9612044112812439902013-12-16T21:55:35.435-06:002013-12-16T21:55:35.435-06:00Oh Sweetie, My heart breaks for you... We all hav...Oh Sweetie, My heart breaks for you... We all have had those powerless feelings when we lose control of situations. Especially for those of us who like to be in control of things, it's hard when times like this happen. <br /><br />Your sweet Daddy will be fine ---after they get him moved into his own room. I would be very disappointed in the nursing home --for not having his room ready. <br /><br />BUT--truly, you have not made a mistake. Your Dad needs to be safe --and the staff there know how to keep him safe... <br /><br />Pray to God for guidance and help... As hard as this is, you will look back on it and be glad you made this hard decision.<br /><br />May God Bless You, my Friend... Trust him God at these times in your life.<br /><br />Much Love and Prayers,<br />Betsy<br /><br />Betsy Banks Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223591156634767330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-856115860459514900.post-75238829960822957782013-12-16T21:19:46.642-06:002013-12-16T21:19:46.642-06:00I am sorry that you feel so sad about this. It is ...I am sorry that you feel so sad about this. It is really hard to express myself without sounding cold.One of the lessons that has been drilled into me as a bus driver is that I can be of no help to anyone when I get hurt or overdo it.I believe the same may hold true for you.Dad needs you,but perhaps in a different capacity now.He needs you to visit him and be able to bring him joy when you come.Hugs to you.Ruth Hieberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11260132564992492524noreply@blogger.com
