They couldn't get ahold of my mom, so <i>I</i> got a call from an Urgent-Care nurse that he was been sent to the Emergency Room via ambulance. He was an hour and a half away near his work, and I didn't know if I'd ever see him again. I'm so fortunate to still have him here, gruff as he can be at times. Several times this Christmas, I caught myself watching him, wondering if this might be our last Christmas together as well. I don't yet fully understand how you feel, but imagining it brings tears to my eyes. Wrapped up in the thought of losing him is the reality that my baby sister is still estranged, and I can't imagine how <i>she</i> could live knowing he was gone and they were still unreconciled. It breaks my heart.<br />I thank you for sharing the truth of your feelings as it challenges me to make the most of every day, as we do not know how many any of us will have. I also appreciate the comfort of the hymn you quoted, and long for That Day with you!<br />I love you, friend! <br /><br />Grace and Peace,<br />AEEEEMommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08152965556780402197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4489977956488610970.post-48312837795412567482010-01-06T22:14:48.891-05:002010-01-06T22:14:48.891-05:00Daisy,

I knew the earlier part of the day couldn't have been easy and was glad for you that you did have "moments" of Peace and Joy. Jim and Stgeph were sorry to have missed dinner with everyone and plan to join us again next year dispite their vacation plans!<br /><br />love always, LBala Waxworkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04882740226229324735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4489977956488610970.post-25965542873639984792010-01-06T20:03:44.096-05:002010-01-06T20:03:44.096-05:00I don't really know what to say, Daisy.
