Gradual Decline Continues
Not much to tell.
Dad’s decline continues. No pain. Not MUCH change but just a steady slowing down.
The last few days at the hospital (when he was transitioning from fighting to letting go) he kept saying “why is everyone pushing me.” And now he’s decided to just take his time. No one’s pushing, no one’s dragging their feet — we keep letting him know it’s all up to him… fast, slow, whatever he wants.
His face is so sunken now that he LOOKS a lot different than even the last few days – but his journey has been long and he’s been faithful to Him who called him to each step along way way.
I’m glad Frank has his faith — he always wanted people to know about God’s kingdom at his funeral — now he’s about to enter into that kingdom that affected so much of what he did and how he lived. For a simple man he found wonderful ways of internalizing his faith and making a simple life as much like what he believed as possible. He didn’t need to preach — he just lived.
