My dear Lord
I come to you
To ask for
More strength
I do fine as
A caregiver
But watching
My brother
Slip a way
From me
Is more than
I can handle
You promised me
Lord that you would
Never give me
Anymore than I
Can deal with
So here I am
With tears on cheeks
On bended knee
Feeling so lost
I need you now
I need you tomorrow
And I need
You after
Please stay with me
Don’t leave my side
Don’t let me show
Al any of
My fears and pain
Let me be strong
Give me courage
To go on
From now until
This chapter
Is over.
Amen
Written by,
Terry Shepherd

Yes, you will and you can. It will not be easy – but it will be mixed feelings of relief and sorrow and sometimes there will be guilt involved.

I can only imagine it will be rough. I think of what you have been going through lately and I often wonder how you do it by yourself. You are a very strong woman my friend and I look up to you

Amen and amen! It’s okay to let Al know you are afraid Terry, maybe he needs to know so. He just needs to know you love him no matter what. God didn’t make to be perfect, He gave us this so that we can share it, we love you and even though we can’t be there with our arms around you, we are here with tears in our eyes and our hearts hurting that we can not do more to reach out and share our strength with you. You are unbelievably strong and filled with God’s grace!

there is a lot of emotion running through you, and it’s like the steering job you have been doing for “Al”, you took the reigns and you never gave up, and now that Al is facing time out as they say, you are drained mentally, and perhaps wondering where the help is when you need it most, well, God didn’t burden you, cause he knew you were able, i reckon good things are going to happen for you, once Al is at rest, don’t loose the faith, many blessings to you both

I am by no means even close to being what he wants me to be, but I do realize from Al’s illness and the many words from all of you, and my own experiences with God that I desperately need him
