Today is the first day of our school year. It is beginning with much less fanfare than in previous years. Usually I begin revving up the boys days beforehand, and we're all kind of excited to get going by the time the day comes. I can't say that this year.
We are (I am) distracted by all that is transpiring with my dad. His condition has not changed as of last night. My mom, with the support of my brothers and me, will be faced with difficult decisions this week, barring a miracle. It is very hard on Mom.
We are comforted, though, knowing Dad received Last Rites last evening, as well as being enrolled in the brown scapular.
My dad (along with Mom) was received into the Catholic Church just three years ago, Deo gratias! We entrust him to Our Lord and Lady. May God's will be done.
Your continued prayers are most appreciated.
....... Now I must go ring that school bell.

Your family remains in my prayers.
Oh, Jill, my heart and prayers go out to you. Being so far away must make it that much harder. I pray that you find peace in our Lord and that your Mom finds peace in her decision as well.
May God continue to bless you and your family and keep you in His care!
