I am so sorry 😢 you have to live this as part of your life journey.

I Like to share with you when my Dad was at heaven’s door, what I said to him.

It was a Thursday afternoon and I was at the nursing facility Dad was in. I set by his bedside and I took his hand in my and I said. Dad, you told me you never wanted to be in this position and if you ever were, to let you go. Well for me that’s difficult but I can do it for you. I went on to say, Dad, if GOD send angels to pick you up..reach up and go with them. We will be okay until we make it where you are. 2 days later Dad took the Angels hand into glory.

I know this is probably not your situation but I wanted to share this with you as a means of comfort when letting someone we love so much..go.

I’m praying for you and your family.
