This devotional today from our former church in Chicago is appropriate as our family strives to be present for Marv during his final days. He’d rather we not “hover” over him, however, and let him mow our daughter’s lawn, water our flowers, work at his computer, and build a cart yet, from a golf cart he retrieved from a dumpster, for our youngest grandkids to ride down a hill in their backyard.
Amidst severe pain yesterday, he informed hospice that he wants to “call the shots” from now on. We’re trying to keep up with his wishes!
