But for me, there's a delay to get me to an intermediary bed at the hospice facility before they get me on the pain meds legal for home. At which point I get transported to home to a hospital quality bed most likely set up in the sitting room next to the master bed room, and set up for the "Happy Death" room that Fr. Reid predicted I would be granted from the unlimited mercies of God. As ss aleays, I had never expected that I should be grsnted such a grace to die so peacefully, and it brings me to tears to think He has loved me this much to grant me this special grace. I pray that Our Blessed Lord will be able to grant you all this wonderful way to die, with all your pets, and as many as your loved ones to be around to share it.
I have never been at anyone's death bed before, and all I have seen are those wonderful moments dramatized on film such as Saint Bernadette's death bed in "Song of Bernadette" or even execution scenes from holy matyrs such as Saint Thomas More in "a Man for all Seasons" snd even fictional scenes like men dying in "They Were Expendable" or "The Enemy Below".
I've often hoped for s heroic death like that, but as I look at the wonderful kids that Laura and I have raiscd, We are in no doubt very blessed parents to have got this far, and to declair "BZ - Well Done - Mission Accomplished. I hope that perhaps at the head stone, someone will think to tie a upside down broom in the tradition of naval victories. in recognition that Laura, myself, our parents and all the siblings have raised a victory for this generstion of Woolhisers. We all have much to be proud of and thankful for.
Mom and I couldn't be happier with you all, and to keep up the good work, and hold onto each other for the successes yet to come.
Update -
Kim is in USA, and her baggage has been misplaced somewhere between LAX and CLT, but are expected soon.
