Bereavement

My Dad passed away on April 25, 2008. He became unconscious sometime Monday night. He remained that way until Friday. He died in his own home with his family there. He was 88 years old. There will be a private grave-side service for him next week.

My brother and sister-in-law were tremendous as they bore the burden of caring for him in his uncoscious state, and also caring for my mother who is quite frail. And now they are working hard to arrange things for Mom.

I am glad that I was able to be there, doing what little I could.

There are many things going through my mind that I cannot share. They are too personal. They are too inexplicable. So much is happening in our family at the same time. I am praying for grace.
