1.11.08 (Friday)

Today is the day we take Mom to the Nursing Home.

Even though God has worked out every detail and

I know it is His perfect will it has been one of the

hardest things I've ever had to do.

I have always teased that when they get old that's

where they will go.

I realize now that it isn't a joking matter.

The sad part about it is that Mom isn't old. She is young at heart

but can't walk.

I think what hurts me the most is

that Mom and Dad being married almost sixty years

has to face this.

They are truly a love story. Different ones have always

joked that Dad is the only man that we know that would

be a full time caregiver.

But I don't think it is far from the truth.



May God bless and watch over both of them as the go through

this next Season of their life.

I'm so sorry, Sharon. I know this is really hard. It was going to be hard enough for us with my mom and she wasn't in her right mind enough to know that home was home. I'll be praying for you all!

Sharon and the rest of your family, I know this is a difficult time for all of you with these changes. I thought it was so sweet what you had to say about your parents life together. I too had that example with my parents marriage and love for one another. That is a wonderful heritage we have. I sure am praying for all of you.
