Something Personnel
« on: June 18, 2023, 06:43:05 PM »
I've never been comfortable expressing personal feelings or family matters, and some of you may have noticed I've been acting a little out of character lately. I apologize if I have offended anyone with my views of late.

My wife and I just celebrated our 51st Anniversary. She was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer shortly after our anniversary. She's a fighter, and will continue to fight it to the end. She is handling this a hell of a lot better than I am. Prayers for the both of us would be appreciated. Brad

Praying that God's healing hands be upon her, and that God will bring you both peace and comfort.

Congrats for 51 years, that speaks volumes for both of you. I watch Linda struggle with COPD and it bothers me knowing there is nothin I can do to make it better for her.

Your stress is far worse, and I'm praying for you both.

Yesterday, my wife Polly went to be with the Lord. She kept a smile on her face almost to the end, and quietly slipped away.   Brad

My heart breaks and I cannot read the screen for the tears.  Peace be with you Brad, and may Polly forever stand in the love and presence of our Eternal Father.

  Cling to your faith NW, worldly things won't answer, faith in God is the one major thing that will see you through.

  Here's a tip.. When my wife went home to be with nthe Lord, some six years ago, I did an out of character thing.  i had never ridden anythig on two wheels, beyond a Schwinn, but I went out and bought a quality motor scooter.

  With that, when thoughts started weighing me down..I would slip my Bible in the underseat luggage space, and headoff into the country roads, up in the hills.  I would find a quiet place, read some scripture and appreciated God's handiwork all around me.

  That helped me through..but it may not be your 'cup of tea'.   But somewhere there may well be something that is slightly out  of your ordinary,
  that will help carry you through.

  Of course, "family" is even more important than ever.  God bless and strerngthen you..

She is at peace with the Lord and awaiting for you to one day hold her in your arms again.
You have my sympathy and prayers; Godspeed and remember the good days for they will return.
