Sad Day for Me
Hello my friends. I'm sorry I haven't posted in a few days. I had to make an emergency trip to VA this past weekend. My father has been in the hospital since May 9th and was transferred to hospice yesterday afternoon. I was able to get down here and spend the night with him last night. He, sadly, passed away today at around 12:30 pm EST. I am thankful for the last few hours that I was able to spend with him even though he wasn't fully coherent. I was able to be with him, holding his hand and stroking his forehead when he took his last heartbeat. I know that my dad crossed over to the arms of Jesus and that one day, Lord willing, I will see him again. Thank you for all the prayers and thoughts that were said for me and my family during this trying time. I am not sure when I will return to PA and back to my regular schedule. I have to finalize my dad's affairs before I can come home. I will be back as soon as possible. Thanks again and God bless y'all.
