So Dad's moving to the hospice floor and I've said my goodbyes. I posted about the upcoming hole in my life a couple of weeks ago--not the least--who to call when we sign the #!1 class or talk hoops every week april thru Sept and after every game and at halftime the rest of the year.
Here is a description of the Doctor from one of his granddaughters. Earlington, Murray state, UofL med school, Trover Clinic
on his resume, but this is a more heartfelt description. I've said goodbye and made my peace so no condolences needed. In fact this description is more a lead in to my wishing you all the best for the holidays,
"God blessed me with one of the best grandfathers who strives to practice his child like faith in every aspect of his life. He's someone who will not pronounce negative things over himself or his family. He is the most patient, kind, loving, accepting man I have ever known, and he's not doing well. I don't know who I'd be without his example. He's in the hospital and has been struggling in his health since June. If any of my friends can send up a prayer for him, I'd be so grateful. Life without my Papa is not something I'm ready to embark upon, and there aren't enough people like him in this world. I'm not ready to let him go. It's selfish, but I want my daughters to know how to literally walk in faith every day, and he does it better than anyone I know. Thank you.
