Loss for Words



Back on December 15 I wrote a post about my father. He had been in a serious car accident and had some fairly serious injuries. While these didn't initially seem life-threatening, that changed quickly, and I deleted the post. As the week progressed, his condition worsened, we said goodbye, and our family found themselves in the terrible position of waiting - waiting for more news, tests, doctors, hope, loss of hope, impossible decisions, lessening of his pain and ours, the end of suffering, peace.

Miraculously, my father did not pass away, although his recovery is tenuous and uncertain at best. I am at a loss for words to write about this, so I simply want to sincerely thank those who offered much-needed and greatly appreciated thoughts, prayers, and support. They helped more than you may ever know, and I am very grateful.
