God knows just what we need...
Today my visit with Dad ended with a precious gift. Since he has been sick I have longed to hear him say just one more time, "I love you." He did not speak at all for the whole time we were there and my heart was mourning to just have the silence. As we were all saying good-bye all but Katie and I were left in the room and as we were turning to leave Dad opened his eyes so I held his hand to say good-bye again and he said, "I love you." He had such a tender look on his face and his words were the clearest he has spoken in over a week. What a precious gift I will cherish forever.
Love,
Precious moments... This last week has been filled with moments that have warmed my heart and brought me to tears. It is such a blessing to be able to spend this time with Grandpa and Grandma. Holding hands and reading scripture, hugs and times of love. Witnessing the love of a husband and wife, the love of a parent and a child and the love of a grandparent and a grandchild. Caring for one another. Sharing God's love. Precious moments...
