Good Morning (middle of the night, I see for you) Steph! You're doing the very hardest thing. Seeing your dad so sick and having to comfort your mom as she deals with it. Nothing that happens to us is as hard as that, is it? When my mom was so ill, there were many days that I thought I couldn't get through the day. But I did. I must have worn out God's ears with prayer for strength and peace and no pain for mom. That prayer worked each time, though sometimes it took a while for it to get inside of me. Best wishes for you and your family during this very difficult time. May you take it one hour at a time and experience more love than pain. ma
