Dying Man’s Daily Journal – Answered Prayer

I hadn’t realized how tired this old body of mine was. Over the past 2 days I have had a LOT of sleep. This past week with the passing of Vi’s father has been a very tiring emotionally draining time. Now, if it was that way for me, I can’t imagine how draining it has been for Vi, her mother, brothers and sisters. When they all get home, each is going to need 2 or 3 days of rest to recharge both their bodies and emotional batteries.

Public viewing of the body is today with the actual funeral tomorrow. I ask for prayers for the entire family, please.

There has been a lot of worry about Vi’s mom, Nellie. She is in failing health and also has a very bad back. It seems she is able to only sit for 15-20 minutes before the pain in her back forces her back to bed to lay down. How would she make out on an 8 hour car ride? Vi tells me, amazingly well. She even at one point said it felt like the “old man” (hubby) was there giving her strength. I have no doubt he was there to comfort and support her. I also believe this strength given to her came in answer to the many prayers being said for her on this trip. I am so grateful to all. Answered prayers is the only thing I can come up with, how do you explain a lady who one day can’t sit for more than 15 minutes or so, suddenly being able to make an 8 hour car ride with no side affects? I pray and ask all to pray for the same, on her car ride home on Tuesday.

The actual funeral is tomorrow, Sept 17 at 2:00pm. my time, Manitoba time. Prayers at anytime are appreciated, but I invite any that may wish to, to join in the service. To join in the service in the same manner I will, in spirit. Figure any time difference between Manitoba and where ever you are and join me in a prayer at that time.

I know I will be meditating and visualizing Vi, I will give her a kiss on the right cheek, I hope she can feel it.
