Pondering in Ponder

Our mom passed away, October 7, 2012.  We were all with her.  She slipped quietly into a painless sleep.  No more suffering.  I believe she gave up on life a long time ago from deep dark depression.  She did have some good times a long time ago.  I can remember her laugh, I hold onto that.  Our dad died April 5, 2013.  7 months after mom.  It's funny, some say when married couples are close, they just give up on life and die close to each other.  The strange thing is, they weren't married.  Haven't been for over 30 years.  Makes you wonder.  Dad was a proud man, retired police officer from Lenexa, KS and loved his family. My wish is that we were able to be more of his family then his second family.  Unfortunately you can't go back in time. He made the choice, something we will live with for forever.

The Lord is near to the broken hearted and saves the crushed in spirit.  Psalm 34:18
