Since moving here nearly 4 years ago, Bill has formed a close friendship with our elderly neighbor, John. He lost his beloved wife, Bobbie, just a couple of months after we had settled here. His own elderly aunt and uncle once owned the cabin that is now our home.
John is now dying. His son and daughter-in-law have been very thankful for Bill's help as they go through the process of saying goodbye. I sketched this card to give them from us; Bill and John have spent many hours visiting on this side patio of John's.
Dear Vicky I am sure this card will be so appreciated. So thoughtful of you to share your talents with John's family. Take care.
ReplyDeleteI hope so. They are good people.
DeleteA beautiful gesture Vicky. I pray that his passing moments will be peaceful and that God will grant comfort to his family, his friends and esp. you and Bill.
ReplyDeleteJohn is eager to see his wife again. Nurses tell us that he sings gospel songs every morning and has asked everyone who enters his room if they know Jesus!
DeleteI am so sorry to hear about your neighbor John. That was so thoughtful of you to sketch his home for his family. I hope the sweet memories of friendship will be a comfort to you all. Praying for the Lord's grace to strengthen, comfort, and bring peace during this difficult time.
ReplyDeleteJohn and his wife built this home when they retired, so I hope it blesses them. John has wanted to go home to be with the Lord ever since his wife died -- he's looking forward to the reunion yet still witnessing to those in the nursing home!
