"Those whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow, Die not..."
Today has been a crazy and terrible day. We lost my father quite unexpectedly.
I found him, still alive, but having suffered a medical incident from which he could not recover. Although he was not a young man (my parents had been together for 20 years when I came along), he was in surprisingly good health-- even the doctor who dealt with our case today told me how impressed he was with my dad's level of health/fitness-- so this has all been quite a shock. Since he raised me as a single father after my mother died when I was quite young, and with my having developed life-altering medical problems when I was still a child, he and I were especially close. I have never even lived apart from him. When I got married, Chris came to live with us and we formed one household of three. All the practicalities of our lives were enmeshed, so C and I have a huge amount of stuff to sort out and deal with just now. I may not be posting regularly for a bit, but I would like to maintain this bit of normalcy if I can, so we'll see what I'm able to do.
In the meantime, my dad loved poetry, and this was one of his favourites. I felt it appropriate to post on this first night without him.
So very sorry to hear, Jessica! How lost you must feel. I will be praying for you and Chris as you navigate this difficult time in both your lives!!
If there is anything specific I can pray, please let me know!
Jessica, I am terribly sorry to hear of your loss. My sincere and heartfelt condolences to you and your husband during this difficult time of shock and adjustment. My heart is with you.
If there is anything specific I can pray, please let me know!
