Today would have been my father's birthday. As you may have read earlier in the journal, he died in December 2005 from complications due to lung cancer. The day he died, we were packing to visit him in Texas. Unfortunately, I did not have an opportunity to say good-bye in person. And since our relationship was quite complicated, finding closure has been a difficult and ongoing process. I have been surprised how many waves of grief accompany the death of a loved one. It isn't something you can prepare for, and you never know what to expect. Such is the way of loss, I have learned.
Please pray that I will exude grace and comfort to my father's wife as I support her during this difficult day. Pray that I would put her needs before my own.
In His grip, Ramona

Ramona,
I will say a prayer for you and Wade as you continue your sadness over your father's death. I pray you can be positive and love his wife through this time that still is difficult for you after time. I can't imagine the daily emotional drains you go through during these trials, but know you are loved and prayed for very often.
April C.
