I thought I would write every day, but it is harder than I thought. Yesterday I took my middle daughter and went with my mom and sister to visit my uncle. He became ill a few weeks ago with a kidney infection. After they admitted him he mentioned he had been having dizzy spells, so they did an MRI just to be safe and found a large brain tumor. They removed half and within a week it had grown back and was larger. They planned Chemo, but it is too late. We went yesterday to say goodbye. Thursday they gave him 24 hrs to 1 wk to live. They are trying to bring him home today, he wants to be home. He is a wonderful man. 75 years old and lived a full life. It is hard to say goodbye. He was a wonderful father and husband and grandfather. After the visit we traveled to Rochester, to tell his brother. That was very difficult also. Gods' grace kept us tho. We were able to pray with our cousins and for my Uncles. Saying goodbye isn't the end. It is hard for us, but for them it is only the beginning. What we are longing for he is about to experience. Eternity in Gods' presence.
