My sister from Iowa flew in today and arrived here at the hospital at 1:20 p.m. She was able to spend some quality time with him although he could hardly respond. I know he knew she was here. He tried his very best to articulate that to us.

We all went in to see him one on one, one by one. Then all of us went in and gathered around his bed. I lead us in a prayer thanking God for what he meant to each of us and then I prayed for God to mercifully allow him to come home.

I then asked for anyone else that wanted to pray to do so. Both my girls prayed a prayer for and with their Pawpaw. One of the pastors that will help with his service then prayed a prayer with all of us around him.

Afterwards everything was removed. I.V.'s, fluids, glucose, and everything else. All he is getting now is a couple of meds to help manage his pain. He is in our Lord's hands now. I've asked God to let him come on home, to extend to him His mercy and grace.

Pray for him and for all of us. He is tired, ready to go, and all of us are beyond worn out.

Your prayers are much appreciated.

Thank you all.
