update

As many of you know my dad continues to decline weekly, if not daily. We sometimes get a "new normal" for a week or two, and then decline a bit, and start a "new normal". But sometimes it's a shorter span of time, even just a day, and the decline starts again and we think my dad might go be with the Lord that day.  Today was one of the harder days. We know that this earth is not his home, and he is Heaven bound. Could be days, could be weeks, could be months. That is in the Lord's hands. Thank you all for your continued support as we continue on this journey.


A funny story (to end today's blog on a positive note) is yesterday was Mario's birthday...and we celebrated by having dinner over at my parents. JP, Rie, & Missy were there too! Just as Mario entered the house Ethan and Senna ran out to Mario yelling "surprise!!", and then came Marcelo bobbing along after them. He too yelled "surprise!" and ran straight past Mario and to the door...wanting to see the surprise! =) What a funny site for us all to witness. Including my dad who had a perfect view of the whole thing from his bed in the living room.

God bless! And thank you all again for all your wonderful prayers, encouragement, and support!
