Happy New Year!
Dear Family & Friends,
One of David's goals was to see the new year, and God love him - he did! Thank you all for your kind visits and calls, along with your MANY Acts Of Kindness. Sadly, at this point, David doesn't have much energy and is confined to bed for the most part, so now visits are restricted to family only.
The Hospice nurse came for the first time today, and her assessment wasn't good, but unfortunately it was exactly what I thought it would be. She told me that David might have two weeks left. How does a person process such a statement, let alone continue to watch the love of your life die before your very eyes?
At this point, we have decided to keep David loved and happy, and unaware of how quickly the end may come. Please respect our wishes in your emails or phone conversations with David. He still does check his email periodically, but answers his cell very rarely now. (Thank you)
So, tonight I write only briefly to share where we are, because the pain of it all has settled into the very core of my being, and my soul is quite weary.
God is my strength and my refuge; and I thank Him for the many precious people who have helped us through this darkest valley of our lives.
With Love,
Linda
