I am back up in Goshen, and although I didn’t know if I would be staying or not, my grandma’s condition has worsened and I made the decision to stay. Yep, another night at the Holiday Inn, and in my general experience in these situations over the course of my million years in the ministry, I will most likely not be heading home until after she dies.
For now however, although she has worsened, she is resting pretty peacefully, which is a relief. At this point, there is no need for labored breathing and no need for any struggling at all. She has lived 95 great years and these last few hours deserve a lot of dignity indeed.
Please however keep her and our family in your prayers. Though expected, it is still hard. The road will be a short one, but somehow even though short, these kinds of roads are often the most difficult of all……even when you have faith.
Goodnight my friends and God Bless!
