Probably the hardest thing I've ever been through in my life. It also stands out now as one of the times God used to grow me and teach me just what He was capable of. We often see God most after the fact, and this is one of those times. I can't tell you how often I shook my fist at Him, and He answered through my Mom's illness. Often through her sense in the confusion.<br />A Blessing: What you are to your dad, and those around you in that place, as you've related your experience with some of those there. They must be so lonely and starved for attention. I'm so thankful God sends someone like you as a comfort to them while you spend this time with your dad. You must have had a wonderful dad to grow up into such a loving compassionate person. I only remember being angry right before He broke me.<br />Praying for you during this difficult time, and cling to the things God will do on this journey. <br />Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04612935931627314524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-856115860459514900.post-51663309983874439472015-02-20T08:34:34.474-06:002015-02-20T08:34:34.474-06:00My last comment had my wrong email address.
