Long weekend...

It has been a long weekend. I kept getting confused that today was Sunday. With everything that happened on Thursday and mom's brother being in town this weekend, I am drained. But I haven't been able to sleep much, none of us really have. I know we have gone through ALOT of beer and the good ole' liver needs a rest :)

Dad had to call in hospice yesterday again to adjust his medicine. I think it is at a good point right now - he said he was feeling okay today about a 4 1/2 which is great considering how he was doing on Friday. He has many visitors coming in and out and he cherishes every visit. I am sure he is completely drained and wiped out also. He is probably tired of all of us kids hovering around him. But I told him on Thursday to expect us or one of us to be around 24/7 and he said that is fine - so we have been. We have been letting him have his nights but we started to make sure one of us is there during the day with him, so if he needs anything or if mom needs a break he won't be left alone.

I have been reading the same bible passage over and over since Thursday - in hopes of finding peace to all of this. I appreciate all of the comments and we were all saying last night, how truly blessed we really are, we really are!!!!

Psalm 23
The Lord is my Shepherd
I have all that I need
He lets me rest in green meadows;
he leads me beside peaceful streams.
He renews my strength.
He guides me along right paths,
bringing honor to his name.
Even when I walk
through the darkest valley,
I will not be afraid,
for you are close beside me.
Your rod and your staff
protect and comfort me.
You prepare a feast for me
in the presence of my enemies.
You honor me by anointing my head with oil.
My cup overflows with blessings.
Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me
all the days of my life,
and I will live in the house of the Lord forever.

Much love to all,
