Time out...

Promise me you'll always remember
you're braver than you believe
stronger than you seem
and smarter than you 
think.

A.A. Milne




Hubby took a major turn for the worse so he is in the local hospital at the moment. They are  adhering to his wishes of no ventilator and no resuscitation. At least I can be with him all day right now and not have to travel over an hour to be with him.

So for right now I may be hanging around in the background and cruise through others blogs, but I am taking a time out. I probably won't comment or make an effort to catch up at this point.

I may write a bit more on the other blog I started years ago when he was first Dx'd with throat cancer. I've used The Long Road to sort of write about the things most people wouldn't want to see in light 'happy' reading.



Being in a silent house feels very strange.

Hold their hand
Sit by their side
Hugs
Just be present




Be Still by Fray


Be still and know that I'm with youBe still and know that I am hereBe still and know that I'm with youBe still, be still, and know
When darkness comes upon youAnd colors you with fear and shameBe still and know that I'm with youAnd I will say your name
If terror falls upon your bedAnd sleep no longer comesRemember all the words I saidBe still, be still, and know
And when you go through the valleyAnd the shadow comes down from the hillIf morning never comes to beBe still, be still, be still
If you forget the way to goAnd lose where you came fromIf no one is standing beside youBe still and know I am
Be still and know that I'm with youBe still and know I am
