Perhaps his prayer is the reason he didn't pass right away when this disease process began 5 years ago.<br /><br />i can only imagine that this is a perfect age for you and mike. you both are in such a great place. and you have each other now. marriage takes a few years to get adjusted; now you've passed that. Perfect age. now we just wait for God's perfect time. xox and thank you agaijn for your courage to come visit dad despite your fears that your emotions would carry you away. i could tell dad was glad for a visitor. if only he could know how much you care about him and his medical journey! xoxKatihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11613245177096346418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4739335452536262487.post-65844460987275427172010-09-03T07:41:03.761-07:002010-09-03T07:41:03.761-07:00*correction: "HIS age, not *MINE.**correction: "HIS age, not *MINE.*karlipoohhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15103389307622436088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4739335452536262487.post-30458779933082300442010-09-03T07:40:32.795-07:002010-09-03T07:40:32.795-07:00those are lovely photos! And for the record, I thi...those are lovely photos! And for the record, I think you *can* miss what you don't know if you see it happening for someone else. In some cases, "Less is more" and "quality is better than quantity." Cliche, but asi es la vida. The Lord gave your father to you all, and gave you all to your father, at just the right times, and only He knows why.<br /><br />I guess parent age will benefit their kids differently at different stages in the parents' lives.... Mike is 40 now, and his kids are 17 and 14... and I have thought about his age affecting our being able to be "good" parents... (hi age, not *mine*) but he assures me that being an older parent would be fine, perhaps easier, because of the wisdom and experience. I guess I'll have to have a child to know. <br /><br />Either way, if we do, I pray that my kid(s) will have the bonds with their brothers (my step sons) that you have with your little bros. <br /><br />Praying that today is filled with love, insight, and peace.karlipoohhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15103389307622436088noreply@blogger.com
