one a.m.

Sitting here in the quiet beside Dad, watching him in what I know is the final hours.  He is peaceful, and is surrounded by people who love him so much.  Mom is on one side, me on the other, and Erin at his feet.  Bill is an hour away yet. His grandkids have been here.   I hope that this amazing man knows how much that he is loved.  This world is a better place with him in it.

  1. Praying. Hope this will help:
    Psalm 28:6-9
     6 Praise be to the LORD,
       for he has heard my cry for mercy.
    7 The LORD is my strength and my shield;
       my heart trusts in him, and he helps me.
    My heart leaps for joy,
       and with my song I praise him.

     8 The LORD is the strength of his people,
       a fortress of salvation for his anointed one.
    9 Save your people and bless your inheritance;
       be their shepherd and carry them forever.
