As quickly as things have cascaded in these past few days and weeks, today we all feel a great weight as been lifted from us. The hospice nurse this morning explained to us that our job now is to make the body comfortable enough so that she can be released from the discomfort and be more free to leave us. So my task now is to bring her to that place, and to watch and wait. When she was still lucid and clear, she talked about how she looked forward to seeing Jesus face to face, to see her Dad and her youngest son who dies too early to see the light of this world. There, she can give him a name.

I feel now, more peace than I have in a long time. The weight of not knowing, of having her so uncomfortable and restless is for the most part behind us. For the believer there is not fear in death. In fact for those who are His, the Scriptures tell us that their death is blessed. The reward of His blood enters their eternal reward.

The Lord is near us, He is our strength and our comfort. In the light of eternity, it will be a brief blink of the eye and we will again be together.

Once more we want to thank EVERYONE who has been praying for us. We are about to enter into a new chapter in our journey, the “period” of this sentence will soon be written, and a new chapter begun. He, is our Hope…
