On his way....

Dad is on his way along with his brothers to go down and see Uncle Wally. He is feeling good physically hopefully he will do okay mentally. Aside from him having cancer - I know it is hard to go and say goodbye - especially to your brother. Uncle Wally is on his journey home - the hospice nurse said he probably will not make it another 24 hours. She told Tonya that she could tell that he was holding on to something, he was waiting for someone or something - even though he is in coma, he knows his brothers are on their way and maybe that is what he is holding on to. I know for them and for everyone down there, it is a difficult trip to make.

It is great to know though that all nine kids are down there with Aunt Bernie and Uncle Wally and even Mindy and Jeremy (Lisa's oldest) were able to make it there too. It's just a matter of time, but they have each other and they will have the four Uncles that they can lean on. It is amazing how fast this has all gone - and very sad. We haven't had anyone in our family pass away for a while - it is very sad for the whole Timmerding clan.

My prayers and thoughts are with Tonya and her whole family as they go through this journey. They know he is going to a better place but it doesn't make it any easier and it doesn't lessen the pain.

Much love to all,
