It wasn't even two weeks ago that a doctor faced my dad and said "months" with regards to the question "how long?". He didn't claim to know and he preempted his response saying that none of us knows how long we have. Yet God knows. And though our hearts may cry out to God, "How long, O Lord, until Dad is relieved of all earthly suffering?" we know that even in these final days God's perfect plan for Dad's life is being carried out.
"The Lord will fulfill His purpose for me; your love, O Lord, endures forever -- do not abandon the work of Your hands." -- Psalm 138:8
Praying that our Heavenly Father will comfort you all in these difficult days.

We remember Bill, our "dad", with love! May God, who has all our days numbered, comfort you in the sure knowledge that he is now in heaven with the Lord. He also knows all our needs perfectly, and he will carry you all in His arms, as you travel the road of grief. Wish we could be there to support you, but please know that you are in our prayers and thoughts all the way from Australia.
