My Dad is on the road to heaven. Jesus will be coming soon. The Nurses at Hospice called this morning (Sat.) and said that Modeling has begun. It is a Medical term when the circulation is being pulled away from the extremities and brought up to maintain the heart and brain blood flow. It is well pass his knees and up his arms. He is unrespondsive and Mom told him once again that we all love him and it is time to 'go to Heaven.'
There are tears of sadness, tears of JOY and tears of jealousy. WHY JEALOUSY???? Because sooo soon Dad will meet JESUS FACE TO FACE. Then he will see his Mom, Dad, sister Hazel that died at the age of 15 from Luekemia, his brother Harold and sister Vera. Gramma Rose, my Mom's Mom, Uncle Hubert...that is just the immediate family.....then you start on the Church Family.....Gramma Jean baby sitter for Emily and Molly in DM, her husband Harold, Jim King, my father in law, my brother in law Ron Weege, the girls Great Gramma Glennola Stanton. The list can go on and on.
My Daddy always said about his faith: If I have lived this life following Christ and there in NO heaven....then I have been a better man, better husband and father in this world. However, if there IS a heaven and everything that I have been taught about God IS TRUE......I AM A WINNER EITHER WAY............PRAISE GOD!!!!
THAT'S RIGHT, DADDY.....Because there IS THE ONE GOD AND FATHER OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT and there IS a heaven .... you are the WINNER and so am I. I will be there with you soon. Mom, I, Emily, Giles and his family, Molly....... 'Soon and very soon, we are going to see the KING JESUS."

TEACHING, LIVING AND MY DAD
Teaching -- keeps my mind off of listening for the phone call. I am ready to leave for Iowa at any time now.
Living -- as before, Why does life go on and not stop when death or the death of a marriage occurs?
My Dad - he is comfortable, medicated when necessary, eats when he asks, squeezes Mom's hand and loves to hear her voice. This week he was transferred into the Residential Hospice Care. He didn't have to change rooms, just the paper work. Medicare notified Hospice that they have accepted his application and will pay for the care.
Mom's special time is in the morning. She reads the Bible to him, he is surrounded by Worship Music all day, and says, "Now Ernie, when Jesus comes, I want you to go with Him. He will stay with us too. It is OK with me, Sharon, Emily and Molly."
His blood pressure is fluctuating and most of the times he is sleeping. What a BLESSED ASSURANCE of a faith in JESUS CHRIST!!!
I AM AT PEACE!!!! BLESSINGS

New York, New York
I had a great time at Kings Point seeing Molly. It was different this year. I flew through Denver and met up with 9 other parents going to USMMA. A new Mom that I am mentoring ended up in the seat across from me. What fun! She was meeting her 80 year old Mother for the weekend.
Kim, her daughter, is a Plebe. We have many things in common and I sure enjoyed being with them on and off during the weekend.
Friday I worked at the Parents Booth and attended Molly's Economics class. Had lunch on the lawn and dinner in the Mess Hall. Enjoy with her friends many of the 'eye candy' Brothers that attend with her. Enjoyed a beautiful sun set across the Water Front and Sound.
Saturday, I got to sleep in because Molly had Watch from 8-Noon. I caught up for lunch and the first half of the football games. Hurricane Hannah was blowing by and there was quite the rain. We watched the second half in her room....something like 7 inches of rain stood on the field as the lost the game. We headed back to the hotel and a pizza.
Sunday morning we waited for Joyce, a gal that I was best friends with and graduated from High School with who lives in CT. She drove down and we headed for the train to go into NY City. We got off at Penn Station and began to walk up Broadway. I was the typical tourist with my camera. We had fun at the M&M's store...3 floors of candy and anything you could imagine with M&M's on it. Across the street was the Hersey's store. Much smaller but just as much chocolate. Actually, I bought NO candy, but other merchandise. On up to the Marriott hotel that has a place where you can buy Musical/Play tickets. I choose to see The Fantastick's. It premiered in 1960, back in 1980 and revised off Broadway last year. A very small intimate theater...you could reach out and touch the actors. We rested our feet and enjoyed a Snapple. After all, it was the Snapple Theater. We had time to go to lunch at a unique Irish Bar/Restaurant. I had the BEST Pastrami sandwich and yummy french fries. We were tired, so I hailed a cab, like you see in the movies.....LOL and rode back to Penn Station. We got a coffee at Border's and waited for the train. The train was packed as there was a NY Mets baseball game. The train goes by Shay Stadium where they play. It was quiet then after all the fans got off and we reached Great Neck. Had a sandwich with Molly and then Kim/Tamra and Grandma Dotty picked us up and we went back to campus. Lots of Hugs and Kisses.
I flew back to Colorado on Monday. When I reached Denver there were messages waiting for me that my Dad had been taken to the Hospital. His condition has declined and on Sept 29 was moved into Hospice Respit Care. He is ready to go 'home' -- Heaven and Mom has chosen to let him go with dignity. God keep us all in HIS care.
