The transition from caring for him in my home to allowing someone else to handle his 24/7 care - has been hard for me. But probably harder for him. He has regressed - and I wonder sometimes where faith goes in old age.

We are taking the steps to place him on hospice. The back pain is overwhelming to him - and can't be fixed. I pray hospice can quiet his pain and thus quite his spirit. <br /><br />He has been ready for his heavenly home for the last few yearsPatrinas Pencilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08103800317102189590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-636765927986926253.post-20033314852451524702012-06-24T17:17:40.820-05:002012-06-24T17:17:40.820-05:00Thanks Deb.
