Safely Home

Don's vessel made it safely into heaven's port this AM at about 10:00 Central time. Thank you all for your love and support, but especially for your prayers during this very difficult time.

I have been thinking of you so much. I rejoice for Don, but I sorrow for you all and the pain you are suffering. The song Rock of Ages has been going over and over in my mind. May you feel a deep sense of His presence during this time.

The Lord will carry all of you through the next few days and your trip to Kansas. We rejoice that Don knew the Lord as Saviour. This time of separation is only temporary. One day soon we will all be together forever in Heaven - "what a day of rejoicing that will be!" Sorrowing with you, but thankful he is finally home, safe with our Lord!

February 27 Update

I just called to see if Amy wanted to blog anything today, but at the moment she is talking on the phone to her wonderful friend, Deb Rose. Deb and her husband, Brian, used to live in Louisville several years ago. They were our very best friends. If I were talking to the Roses this evening, I would tell them that Amy is desperately scared. The docs have given her a very stiff dose of antibiotics, but as of this moment, her body temp is climbing once again. Her primary doctor told her he fears that this infection may be fungal in nature. I don’t completely understand all of the implications, except that we are shooting at this infection with our biggest guns, but it just keeps on coming. In her introspective manner, she shared with me today that if she had known she would lose her sight, she would have invested it more wisely in the things she read and watched: “What if I go completely blind and can’t read the Bible? I have to get more serious about memorizing.” This morning a do...

March 2: HOME!!

From his vantage point at our front door, three-year old Seth delightedly shrieked, "Mommy," and I turned in time to see Amy being driven down our long driveway. Our three blond-haired boys buried their faces in their mother. Even the house sighed contentedly. Amy's home. A Happy Husband, David

David or my sister would read your comments to me and they brought me so much comfort in some of the darkest hours. It was such a surprise to hear from friends from years ago. I have shed alot of tears and just when I thought I couldn't possibly cry again...another torrent would follow. Being home has helped alot. Just being with my precious boys has brought alot of comfort. The hospital didn't allow children under age 12 to visit but they did make an exception for short visits. One of the most difficult decisions that was made was to place Seth in preschool 5 days a week from 8-12. The school offered this to us at no expense and since my health is still tenuous, it is the best decision...and my head knows this but my heart h...
