Scheduling Life and Death
I remember thinking, "Last year at this time, I was 8 months pregnant. I couldn't control my schedule of when I would actually go into labor. I knew it would happen soon. But when? I had to trust God's timing. Now, with my mother on a ventilator, I have no way in knowing when she will pass away. Life and death is inevitable. And, it is on God's time table."

Yuck. I wish I had something more profound to say. James 1:12? Still yuck. I am sorry for what you are going through.
I thought about you when talking to a friend today with a father in late stage Lou Gherigs.
Interesting. So, 1st of all, I really am not that dark and dismal that I sit around and think of dreadful thoughts all day. I just really want to capture this part of my life. As I go through these struggles and turn to God, I really do feel called to write publicly about them. I don't want to sugar coat it but just tell it like it was... Thanks for reading and your input!
Second of all, my father is also going through a brain disorder similar to Lou Gherigs. He stared getting really clutzy about a year or so ago. Now, he needs a wheel chair and he slurs after about 3:00 in the afternoon. He had to retire early and has a difficult time tending to his garden b/c he can hardly stand without help. We have no idea what is wrong with him and no idea how deteriorated he will be by Christmas! Boy oh boy, am I Debby Downer or what? I should change my blog to be called Debby Downer!
