Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 Posted January 21, 2022 Posted January 21, 2022 After all the prayers and good wishes over the past few months, I'm sorry to let everyone know that the Doctors have advised us that my love of almost 60 years will not be able to return home. She has reached a plateau that she is not able to get past. The strokes she suffered, the delirium from the anesthetic and now dementia have left her bedridden and requiring professional care 24/7 We have been fortunate enough to get her into a nice place and I was able see her and spend time with her every day until I tested + for Covid this week. The staff are good to her and hold a phone to her ear for a few minutes so I can talk to her, but she falls asleep while we try to talk. This cowboy is crying a lot right now. Thanks for all your prayers.
Linn Keller, SASS 27332, BOLD 103 Posted January 21, 2022 Posted January 21, 2022 My friend, my hand on your shoulder: yours is indeed a heavy burden. I am a wordsmith and an accomplished public speaker, I usually have fine and appropriate words for any situation, but reading the grief in your lines and remembering my own recent distresses ... I'm sorry ... I can't think of anything worthwhile to say. I do, however, know this: To say nothing at all would be the worst possible thing I could ever say!
Forty Rod SASS 3935 Posted January 21, 2022 Posted January 21, 2022 Been there myself. I know your sorrow and you have my prayers.
Subdeacon Joe Posted January 21, 2022 Posted January 21, 2022 May God give both of you peace and allow this time of trial to be for healing of soul and the glory of God.
Jabez Cowboy,SASS # 50129 Posted January 21, 2022 Author Posted January 21, 2022 Howdy, I too am at a loss for words of my own, but these are words from Isaiah that have been a comfort to me in the dark valley of a year ago. Isaiah 51: 12 ,,,, I, even I, am he who comforts you. God has your situation in hand, and no matter the outcome he will be there as long as you need him. Prayers will continue. Jabez Cowboy

DocWard Posted January 24, 2022 Posted January 24, 2022 If I knew the words that could bring her healing, I would speak them. If I knew the words that could bring you comfort and peace, I would write them. Yours is a place many here have been, and it is my hope their journey brings you confidence as you travel yours. While my faith is not yours, I encourage you to be constant in your faith, as it brings you strength for the travails at hand. You and Sherron will be in my thoughts and my meditations.
