that is the middle of my shift of sitting with tim tonight. because of the weather the 10pm hospice nurse was not able to make it in from lancaster. fred and the girls took the late night and i am on the mid-night and fred will take back over early am.
not much has changed. i see him getting weaker and less and less responsive as the hours go by. we think we have finally acheived the point that he is comfortable most of the time. i doubt that he really knows that someone is here to see him. (or if he recognizes you he will probably not remember that you were here).
we are still loving on him and sending all your love his way. he is never alone and on the rare occasion that he does open his eyes someone is there to tell him that we love him and that it will be ok. i know this may sound bad...but i can't wait until he opens his eyes and is in the awesome presence of the LORD>...he will wonder why he fought it so long.
before he got really bad we often talked about his mother (she passed away about 12-13 years ago). he said he imagined that she was just waiting for him to arrive so that she could play him a song on the most amazing piano...she loved to play the piano and he loved to listen.
thanks for checking in
gotta go

You know is Joyce is awaiting Tim's arrival with great joy. We cannot understand God's ways. He is supreme. Praying for peace.
Love

It's hard to know what to say or how to pray in such a situation as this;
We just pray what ever God has in store, that His will would be done, quickly.
Strength to you, Fred, the girls and all those in Hospice and Peace, for Tim.
Love
Diane and Dan McCormick
He is in our constant prayer. We are glad to here that his pain is finally manageable. Know that we are here for whatever you may need.
Love you all,
The Doyles
Tammy,
Whether you realize it or not, your posts are packed with the power of God. I tear up - they are so full of what is good in this world, strength, and faith in our ever-loving Lord. We are thankful Tim is not feeling so much pain. If sleep is an issue and you need help, call the church tonight. We will be there and we will come.
Continual prayer and strength to you all..........
John & Tammy
Remember Tammy, we are just up Fishing Creek Valley; we can come at any time; even though Dan works during the day, I could help you if I am able to; Just let us know; Remaining at the Throne of Christ, in constant prayer and faith;
Your friends

Ex 14 v14; paraphrased by me; The Battle is Mine; I will fight your fight; I will keep your peace
I have beseeched our Saviour for relief for Tim, and He has answered. Thank You, Jesus!
I love the song that was quoted a blog back. It is the "heartsong" of all believers. Tim won't have to 'imagine.' He'll look on the loving face of the One who died for him, and all the sad and hurtful stuff will be gone. He can laugh with, dance with, sing with and hug all those who wait to greet him. Awesome!
.......but it is painfully real for you, the girls, the family and friends. I will be praying for Tim until he rests and continue to pray for you all going forward.
Love from Aunt Katie
Tammy,
we are praying for Tim every day,stay strong and keep the faith..
Jim and Barbara
