I am faced with the most difficult decision of my life. Dad has had a massive stroke during the night. He is still in a coma, and the prognosis is grim, especially for the quality of his life, if he were to come out of this. Please pray for me and for him.
With that aside, you need to protect your father even after life. That is honoring him. You are right, you don't want to see whoever did this get away with it nor should they take advantage of other elders. It is a fine line to define abuse sometimes, but regardless they need to be protected.
How's that wonderful daughter of yours doing? And how are you doing after all you've been through? Take care of you and your family. And I pray you find some rest and peace.
Despite your trials and tribulations, you are still such a blessing to those of us on this site. Thank you for your updates. Will continue to lift you in prayer in the days ahead. Hope your Dad's memorial service is a precious time of remembrance to you and your loved ones of your Daddy's life to those he loved. I pray you are richly rewarded to have been such a wonderful help and blessing to your Daddy, in his need, through the final days of his life. May your sorrows be lessened knowing you were a very good daughter to your Dad. God be with you and your family, dear Naus.
When I come to the end of the road
And the sun has set for me,
I want no rites in a gloom-filled-room.
Why cry for a soul set free?
Miss me a little and not too long,
And not with your head bowed low.
Remember the love that we once shared.
Miss me, but let me go.
For this is a journey that we all must take
And each must go alone.
It's all a part of life's plan
A step on the road to home.
When you are lonely and sick at heart,
Go to the family and friends we know,
And bury your sorrows in doing good deeds,
Miss me, but let me go.
This will be on the prayer cards. God Bless you my dear friends. I am so thankful to my Dad for letting me be in the room with him, when he was called to home. It was just him and I, and an honor to be with him. I heard the last beat of his heart, when I put my head on his chest. I miss you Daddy!
