My JIm

My ears feel with tears every night, with pain I have never endured. I've tried to write, but if I write it, it becomes true. He goes on, a little progress, some set backs, I no longer ask myself why he has to endure so much. How does he do it, why does he do it, I'm reading anything that will give me any answer, I have none, I want the one that will sooth me, he's waiting to touch his Mom, I will take him to Florida in 2 months, he will get us there, his doctor said he would too. From there, I don't know, leaving our beloved land and wildlife. It has filled our souls, today the nurse said his eyes lite up whe I said elk were on the property.

I sleep in his room and bed at night, his clothes, is someone teaching me I have forgotten the meaning of what or is this his life, like so many others. I can't go any further tonight, but to thank you.

Jim continues on for a reason ~ it's hard to know what that is ~ maybe more time for you to be together and learn from each other.

  11. I think of you and Jim, many times thru the day and each time you cross my mind I say another prayer for you both. Thank you for taking the time to update your blog. We all wonder how are YOU doing? Nancy, try not to wonder why. Just know that each day you spend together is a blessing no matter how hard that day is. In my experiences there really are no answers as to why our loved ones have to suffer so much pain, just more questions.I stopped asking why a long time ago. Life for many of us are hard, I don't know why, it just is. The love the two of you share is beautiful.Continued prayers.

  13. Oh, my dear Nancy. Like so many others who follow your blog, we've never met but your down-to-earth writings and you sharing so much -- well, I just feel we are friends. I so very much wish I could help you. I called Kim Q. several days ago but didn't get a return call. Will you be able to return to Montana? I care.

  22. Dear Nancy, In reading all the nice comments from your internet friends, I hope that it brings you some comfort knowing so many people are pulling for you both and praying for you. I guess that is one of the great things about the internet. It can bring so many people from all over the world together as friends! What a blessing! I want you to know that I am praying for you too, that God will give you comfort, and that he is wrapping his arms around you both. He promised that he would never leave us! Thank you for posting again, so we can know how to pray for you. Jeni
