Our Father's Courage

Our father continues to be comfortable at home and the hospice nurses were terrific in teaching us how to monitor his medications and comfort level. He is grateful for all your prayers as we are too. We are also grateful that we have had a father who exemplifies the life of a simple man who is now ready to go back to God. We have been praying to Blessed Kateri Tekawitha for a miracle and if not a miracle that dad will rest in the arms of the angels as he goes to be united with his creator. Dad is very much ready for the moment of death and he has shown all of us how to face death without fear for our loving God is there to carry us into the next life. Dad is still able to speak with us but we do not know how long this will be available for us so we are enjoying all the moments that we do have with him. It makes us all realize both the beauty and the fragility of life. Please keep our mother in your prayers, Therese Lewis, as she walks through this moment with our father. God bless you all!
