Hospice...

Today we signed papers agreeing to hospice. We know this is right. She wants it. We want to see her at rest and at peace.

That reality is just harder for me to take than I thought it would be. . .

It will not be easier when she is gone. But it is definitely harder while she is still here and suffering.

I trust in a big God who can hold all of this pain for me... and who knows what we are walking through.

I am grateful for small things, like hugs and a bunch of daffodils (a surprise from a friend), and a cat who decided tonight of all nights, I was going to be her lap.

Thanks be to God.
