Love the artwork. Beautiful choice! :)
Thanks for sharing your story with us. I'm sorry it took me a while to read it. I've been crazy busy and trying to fit time in for my new book and stressing over getting my last manuscript back from my editor so I can get it out there. I'm like you. I pray everyday for patience, guidance and His blessing.
I can see how your writing has changed you in so many ways. It flows so easily and reads so real. I can hear all your emotions in your words. Keep this up, because I love to hear about your family and how things are going. I continue to keep you and your family in my prayers. We don't know how long we have on this earth. Mom always talks like I will out live her, and I say, "Mom, you may out live me. We don't know what our future holds."
Keep your faith and it will heal all. You're a great person with a enormous loving heart. I'm lucky to know you and call you my friend.
Always your fan,
Shana :)

Wow, what a kind review. I am so touched. Thank you for being my friend, for encouraging me and lifting me up when I need it. You inspire me and I am so proud of you. I don't know how else to express how in awe I am of all you have done with your gift. It's impressive! Thank you for giving me one of your precious six stars. I am so grateful! Hugs Buddy

Grief is one of those hard lessons we all have to learn at different times in our life. You do a great job of showing your characters coping with the loss and making adjustments to move ahead.

Comment from Ulla
Hi Rebecca, I think your husband gave some very sound advise. I know what I'm going to say next will come across very harsh, although it's far from being meant that way. I think you have to start to come to terms with that your Dad is dying. How long it will take nobody knows. It may be tomorrow or in a few years time. It will be so much easier on you if you start accepting rather than fighting it. You can only be pleasantly surprise if he should change for the better.
Please don't be angry with me for being this blunt. Ulla xx

I am not angry. I think what I am fighting with is coming to terms to all of the unresolved issues that are there between us. It is my desire to 'come to terms'. I just have to walk this road until I find my way. I feel lost. I do understand that this can be heavy to read about. It could trigger issues for others, but I HOPE to help bring healing to myself and others.
Thank you for sharing how you felt. I don't have a problem with that at all. Hugs

This is another very well written and very interesting chapter you have penned. Your husband gave you some good sound advice. Enjoy your dad while you have him here on this earth with you. We do not know when our last moment on this earth is. Just try to enjoy him while you have him and your other family too. I am trying so hard to do that too my friend. May God bless you! love, Teri

I've been praying for you, and your healing. This morning Joel Osteen spoke about 'suddenly God will come through and the things you've been believing for will happen.Thank Him for your healing, when your faith wavers.' Thank you for reading along with me. I appreciate your reviews and five stars. Have a blessed day, my friend.
Comment from BethShelby
This is sad and it's hard for everyone. It's seems even worse when you've had a good life and you parents have cared for you. It is something to pray about. God knows and cares for you and your parents. We all have to die and only God can get us through it. I'm sorry about your dad. I lost my husband to cancer in 2017,

Comment from Patty Palmer
This is very sweet and I can tell how you are writing from your heart. I know how you are feeling. My mom had lung cancer. Just like you, I was driving in my car and all of a sudden this huge surge of grief and loss. It was the first I had broken down to that extent. I remember crying my heart out and praying out loud to not let my mom die. My first thought was that I was going to be an orphan! Now, I was 50 years old, married with three kids! And I felt scared that I was going to be an orphan.
It's hard to watch someone you love suffer. It's normal. Talk to someone
friends or family to help you grieve, I wish you the best of luck!

OH Patty, thank you so much for your honest and kind review. I could feel your heart and genuine emotion. I am 55 and yes, that thought's crossed my mind. I had a really hard day the other day. Cried for 15 minutes straight. It was unlike any cry I've ever had. Grieving is the right word. Thank you again. It's nice to meet you. :)
