Prayer and the lack thereof

[mmitch47]

Many days after the flies....I am seeing the flies in the ointment concerning a very special friend that I have had for 10 years....the flies concerning the matter is that his children found him almost dead Monday the 13th of July, kidneys etc had failed dehydrated lost 40 lbs. Was in ICU one week. etc etc. He is now in nursing home prob. with some brain damage. the first battle of flies was killing what I could...How do I get AROUND CHILDREN that don't relate to their dad unless they need something so they did not know allergies, did not know primary docs name nor where to find that info, where was living will etc., Grace, Grace as I worked around over and through to teach his kids (both in 40s)how impoortant it is when you are getting older to have open conversations about such things. Lesson II - persevere!!!! Wasn't good enuff to set off one bomb, yes Helena very like flea issues. Things in second case, being assertive with what I knew and information I have known. Made appointment with hodpital social worker and laid out everything I have known....also taught me on the side how important to be sure there are those who will advocate for you...sometimes family just cannot do it. I am learning many things that I wasn't wanting to learn yet about end of life issues; boundary issues; and the god awful results of appalachia mis teachings or lack thereof...I am now to a place of waiting to see the victory for now the flies are gone.
