Just some random thoughts as I sit here this morning. It is freezing cold outside. Thank God for nice warm homes and central heat. My heart goes out for those who are in the cold. Poor animals who have not shelter suffer so badly.
Those of you who have seen some of my older posts know my dad was admitted to Hospice care a few days back. His health continued to take a downward spiral. I called all the siblings in. Each one of them were able to come visit and be with Daddy again for a while. He was aware of their visits even as he drifted in and out of consciousness. With our home being filled with visitors in and out, I have not been able to make posts, physically or emotionally.
We had a real blessing on the 25th. Daddy became a great-great grandfather with the birth of his first great-great grandson. When I told him, he got a big smile on his face. He understood what I said. That was Monday. On Wednesday, the 27th, Dad went to sleep around 5 PM, and never woke up again. We lost him at 7:44 PM on the 29th. For 50 Plus hours he was unresponsive to our voices and touches.
It has taken me this long to even want to approach the keyboard. One sister and her husband went with me to make the arrangements, and they left for their home right after the meeting with the funeral directors. I will have several days before family starts to drift in again for services to he held on Jan. 6. Posts may be hit and miss until I adjust to this new reality. New reality, New Year. Blessings to all.
