I know I've been slow in acknowledging emails, cards, and everything else, but I want to tell the entire 'Timmerding family, cousins, etc. thank you for all the cards, emails, and especially the prayers that you have said for us. If Wally were able, I know he would be the first to say thank you. We were hoping to be able to make a short trip to Ky. to see everyone, but right now I just don't think it is possible. If Wally can get some of his strength back, it might be possible.
Since he is home from the hospital he has had hospice and home health care personnel coming by to check on him. We need to get some meat back on those bones. He is in a lot of pain and his appetite goes up and down. I have heard some excellent things from our girls about the healing mass and just wish we could have been there to see and hear it. I'm sure we will receive some very positive results from it. Thank you Dave for arranging it.
We received the cd with all the family pics and watched it with Gary & Brian the other night. It was just great and we really enjoyed it, the boys got a few laughs out of it. We also received a cd from Dick Ante with a lot of pics on it, but haven't viewed it yet. I think one of best medicines that we have received is the trips that our kids have made down here. Wally didn't want them to come at first, but he was just being stubborn. He did perk up a lot while they were here.
Thank you God for our having such a beautiful and loving family. If I forgot to tell you, thank you for making those trips down here.Thank you all again for all the cards, emails and prayers for us.
That's what keeps us going, that and knowing that God is taking care of us.
Love, Bernie & Wally
It is wonderful to hear from Wally and Bernie. You won't hear me say this often, but thank God for this technology that keeps us all connected with news, pictures, etc. Most days, I have other words for the computer, especially when it does not do what I want it to do... With such a big family, it is great to go to the blog and find out how things are going for everyone on a daily basis. Love and prayers-- Aunt Diana
ReplyDeleteWe wish the best for you Uncle Wally and your whole family. Our hearts and prayers are with you spiritually even though we can't be there. I am going to try to make it to another Monday mass for both of you. I am chair of my son's After prom and we have had all our meeting on Mondays lately along with working Bingos. We are keeping you both in our prayers along with my mom and the rest of the Timmerding family. Love Connie and Jeff
ReplyDeleteWally-stubborn--never! If he is a Timmerding he is stubborn. I hope he is too stubborn to let this awful stuff bet him!
