It's been a long while since we have posted from Poverty Flats and a lot has changed since . It is very hard to set at the keyboard and think rationally tonight. It has been two weeks today since life support was withdrawn from Granny and almost two weeks since she departed this life and graduated to her Heavenly home . Most who will read this post know that Granny was the name most around here used for my wife Frances. We have been together for 32 years , always the closest and best of friends. My sorrow and grief is almost more than I can bear. I need to quote Dr Jack Stanton, a well known Baptist evangelist from Missouri, when speaking of the lost of his wife to cancer. Someone asked him, " Dr. Stanton, don't you know where your wife is now ?" To which he replied, '"Yes of course I know where she is, but I also know where she's not. " I know that my strength is in my faith, for GOD's word says "The peace of GOD, which passes all understanding will keep your heart and mind through Crist Jesus our Lord". BUT,,,,,, in all honesty, I do so look forward to the time when I will be with her again for eternity.
I need to close for now. As always, Via Con Dios DM

Hi Don,
I am so glad to see you back on your blog, I really like reading it and keeping up with whats going on down there. I know this post was hard for you to make, it took me awhile also to regain my interest in blogging. I know you are hurting very bad and I wish I could do something for you but I know I can't. I promise not to preach to you because I know I can't tell you anything you don't already know and it wouldn't help anyway. But what I will do is tell you that I am praying for the comfort GOD provides to to come over you and saturate your very being! I truly think that spring weather will help both of us, we will be able to get back outside and garden and fish or just sit outside and enjoy the warm weather and watch the sunrise and sunset while planning the days ahead. Tell everybody I said hi and give the girls a hug from Roxi and I both. Sending our love and prayers,
Bill
Sir..I am very sorry for your loss. Only someone who has been through the same thing can truly understand your pain.
Along with Bill I pray that the God Who offers peace beyond all human comprehension will fill you, and surround you with that peace, to comfort, and strengthen you, now.
May God bless,and keep you in His perfect care.
