Mom came and woke me up at 4:30 this morning. She was concerned about Dad. His breathing has been very labored and his oxygen saturations are low. She said she might be crying wolf, but she wanted me to call all my brothers and sisters.
Everyone came today. Robert, Earl and Aunt Dena drove up from St. George and everyone else has been here since 5:00 this morning. Uncle Tim came with his family, and also Aunt Belva, Uncle Pete, Kuya Danny and Ate Letty. We were all here and we were all surrounding Dad all day.
We watched old family videos for about 12 hours straight and have been laughing and crying a lot.
Dad was able to focus on us for a few seconds at a time but other than that has been resting. As of right now, he is sleeping soundly. His oxygen levels are still low but his breathing seems to have improved a bit and Mom and Aunt Dena are staying by his bedside to keep an eye on him.
It has been a very long and emotional day but it has been so great to have everyone together. There is a lot of love in this little room.
"In this very room, there's quite enough love for all of us; and in this very room, there's quite enough joy for all of us; and there's quite enough hope and quite enough power to chase away any gloom. For Jesus, Lord Jesus is in this very room."
Was driving home, stopped for lunch and when I got into the car got your moms message. You all have my deepest condolences over Earls passing, but now he is with the Lord, as we are left dealing with him leaving us. I will come down today and you "all" have my deepest, deepest sympathy over Earl psddinh, my the Lord be with you all. See ya!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWe are so sorry to get the phone call about your dad. Our hearts and prayers go out to all of you.
ReplyDeleteHow special today must have been for all of his family to be there with him. And for the love he felt at his passing. I know that God is with you and that he has a very special angel by his side.
If there is anything we can do please let us know. We love all of you.
