He's ready to go - my sweetheart

[Kathleen808]

Dear Friends,
We are still at the hospital and Dick has made it clear that he is ready to go. He has spoken to me, our daughter and his best friend all at one time and made it clear. Also, he spoke to the oncologist, me and our daughter and said he is done and wants to pass on. We have all told him that we will stay with him during this journey and that our goal for him is peace. I do not know if he has a few days or weeks. We are all heartbroken. I have felt it important for our 20 year old daughter to be part of these conversations as she needs to hear it from her father that he is ready for peace. Our pastor, one of his best friends has been here regularly and Dick is at peace with his passage to heaven and eternal love.
Please continue to pray for us. Thank you for staying by our side.

Aloha
Kathleen

You are so full of grace, Kathleen, and such a good friend to your husband. What a wise and loving wife and mother! You have also been unfailingly kind to members of this forum. I just have to express my admiration for you.
I am so sorry for how hard this must be for you and your girls. My hope and prayer is that things be easy for Dick as he travels forward. May he be at peace and may you all have good time together as he transitions.
Much love to you.
Aloha, dear one.

My heart is so heavy for you, Kathleen. While I am so glad that Dick is at peace, I know that this is heartbreaking for you and your daughters. Praying that God holds you in His arms and guides you through this difficult time. You are and have been such a wonderful wife and Dick is so fortunate to have you by his side.
Much love,
Sharon

Dear Kathleen,

There is a quote from "Pilgrim's Progress" that I love...
"The name of the chamber was PEACE where he slept, until the break of day. And then he awoke and sang"

May Dick's chamber be enveloped in PEACE until that day that rises to song. And may the PEACE that passes all understanding, surround you and your girls in the days ahead. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
