A new day

Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each day.

~ Lamentations 3:23, NLT

Surprisingly, Mom ate quite a bit yesterday. She still likes to talk and will keep you for hours reminiscing if you've got the time, which is something I have to work at, though I hate to admit it. So many things going on, yet the need to be there for Mom.

Dad is struggling, physically. His patience seems to be growing, though at times he is greatly tested. I worry for him. Monday, he had spoken with a neighbor who said his father had passed away with circumstances similar to Mom. He went on to share that his mother, who was the picture of health, passed away 12 days later. It seemed to shake Dad. I heard Dad say that he was hoping to do some more traveling, and I know he would, but it would probably never happen now. He really wanted to travel with Mom.

Some days I really don't want to grow old...even so, Lord come quickly...
