Continued strength!!
God is here giving us strength moment by moment. We are grateful for Dad's continued physio and movement being encouraged. He is getting more pain meds and struggles when he needs to rest on his right side with the arthritic hip and skin donor site. He gets a chance to sit in a special chair for a couple of hours. He gets easily tired; so continued strength for this day and each day forward would be our prayer for Dad.
So emotional strength is needed for all of us as we approach and prepare for Mom's memorial. One begins to understand all the details and planning involved in preparing for the celebration of the life of Mom. As we prepare we share memories, as we look at pictures we share stories and all of those activities drain some emotional strength when we can't be sharing them with Dad in a meaningful way.
