I was very frustrated by losing half of my message last night but I am better about it today.
As I was saying: He is prepared and ready to go to Heaven. He has a great support group and his daughter, who has come from Augusta to be with him, is military and between the two of them, things go like clockwork. I have been praying for him and as I told him as I left. It is great to have a face to go with those prayers. He said the same is true for him. I will have another advocate in Heaven.
Maggie and I left around 1:30 and got home around 9pm. There was a steak dinner waiting for us in the apartment. Oh, I forgot to mention that the reason (besides an opportunity to see them) that we went down to the Thompson’s was that Maggie had a wheelchair that was Mrs. Mac’s and we took it down for Maureen to use. She and Rick are going to Gatlingberg soon and it is so much easier if she doesn’t have to walk everywhere.
On Sunday, we went to Immaculate Conception church in Durham for the 9:30am Mass. The Fitzpatricks and their two daughters, son-in-law, and two adult grandchildren were there. It was nice to see them all again. Also Fr. Larry, who was pastor at St. Camillus and always so welcoming to me when I visited, is the assistant there. We had a chance to speak to him before Mass. The Mass was so “spirit filled” and the pastor’s homily was excellent. It is nice to be “in the pew” and have good liturgy.
The rest of Sunday, Maggie and I relaxed. We do go to the pool for an hour, and did our laundry (we have a washer and drier in the apartment), and then watched some more of the Little League games in Conneticutt and Texas. I also worked on “my stuff” and wrote the blog, of which I lost half and that’s why I am writing again about Sunday. I went to sleep and slept through till 7:30am. I will write about today, later tonight.
Thanks for the update! Glad all is going well.
