Sweet Moments

The last two days have been the most difficult.  Around 4:00 yesterday Marc became unresponsive.  We had a few sweet moments just before that with our pastor, Alan.  We finished praying and exchanged a few brief words.  Since then he has been silent, struggling to take his next breath, and anxious.  This has been a difficult transition for all of us.  We are told that he is in his last hours, but we all know Marc's strength and determination -- he will leave us when he is ready and not a minute sooner.  He continues to amaze us.

We are doing as well as we can.  The kids stayed home today and we were comforted by the presence of  family, friends, and wonderful hospice workers.  We have our stressed, exhausted, and frightened moments; however, we also enjoy sweet moments together as family.  We remember, visit, share our hearts.....and, yes.....laugh.  God is good and He is present here with us. 

We are all tired and I need to be present for Marc and the kids.  This site will be silent from now until Marc goes home to be with his Heavenly Father.  We would be grateful for your continued prayers as we face this hard task.  I don't think any of us is prepared for what is to come.

With love and gratitude.....
