However, that is in earthly terms. What a comfort it is to know that he will soon be Going Home and will no longer be limited by Alzheimer's or any other physical difficulties. I love the words here of Gloria Gaither: there's nothing like observing the transition from earth to heaven and seeing the empty shell left behind - it renews my faith every time. I think if we truly had a glimpse of what awaits on the other side, we wouldn't try so hard to keep our loved ones here!I'd appreciate your prayers over the next few days. In addition to this, one of my husband's brothers is having a malignant melanoma removed and lymph node biopsy done at MD Anderson on Monday. And back at home we have a myriad of school check-ins and textbook pick-ups and appointments next week that will need to be rearranged.
And a girl's birthday that can't be rearranged!
I think I'm going to need another vacation. . . .

Linda, ((hugs)) and prayers for you and your family--as well as an Amen to the beautiful truth of Going Home.
The biggest blessing of all.
Love, Candy
Oh Linda...that you tube clip is just...a WOW. Love the parallel of birth and death...each with its pains. I'm so glad you found that clip. I'm going to earmark it.
praying for you and your family.
Linda, definitely sending hugs and prayers your way!
sometimes you just want to reach right through the computer screen, don't you?...I do...
praying peace and calm for all those involved :)
I'm so sorry to hear how your vacation ended Linda. I pray that your FIL will be comfortable until the day he crosses over to the other side. What comfort we have in knowing we'll one day see our loved ones again. I love the Gaithers and their music.
We tend to be selfish sometimes, thinking of what we are going to miss... but like you said if we would only think of what awaits our loved ones! It seems you have alot on your plate, at times like this I try to remember, He will not put more on me than I can handle! The Gaithers are awesome! My prayers are with you and your family!
