...and no other job either! Marty, you can say THAT again...and again...and
again. I agree whole-heartedly. I wish I could retire so that I could spend
MORE precious time with my Dad while we still have time, but that just isn't
meant to be. I only get to see him on Sundays for about 4 hours and that is
sometimes painful as every hour, day, and week gone by are GONE. No chances
to repeat them. I know my family (stepmother, sister, and myself) would all
do anything to make my Dad feel better and would care for him no matter what
it takes. The hardest part is the emotional stuff, not the actual
care-giving, but being brave, hopeful, and imparting that all the time. The
easiest part is loving the person who is ill. And the BEST part is that God
sees us through it all somehow and often when there SEEMS to be no hope to be
found, my heart is filled with it. That is the gift that God has constantly
replenished for me - my hope. -chris
