Donna’s Pilgrimage – on the road to beautiful

my dad’s been with us for 5 days. he’s told us he wants to stay with us during john’s surgery on oct. 15th and beyond. who knew that this season of our lives would include having a parent living with us? we really feel this is a gift, but now to live it out….
everything takes longer and is more complicated than we anticipated. that said, we are busy getting new drs. and keeping meds straight. we will be seeing a new audiologist to try to get dad some help with his hearing loss. we will also be trying to switch to a new va. hospital and a new general physician. more than ever before we also feel the need for community. unfortunately, our church has not stepped up to help. we felt this same lack when jarrett was killed. it has definitely made us aware of how we need to respond when people are hurting…and more.
this is definitely a new season in our lives, and we will see how and what God provides.
