All,
John's PCP came in to see him this afternoon and spoke with him privately, then with us. John expressed his wishes to go peacefully. He also told him he would like to die at his home at Greer House, but unfortunately, we don't see how that's possible, which breaks my heart. His doctor told us not to feel bad about that; they will start giving him morphine to eliminate his pain and God will take care of the rest. He is not in excruciating pain, but why not make him as comfortable as possible. He told us that the morphine will speed up things and if there's anyone who wants to see him, they need to do it as soon as possible. Our brother Joe is flying in tomorrow morning. This is very hard to take, but we have been blessed with a wonderful brother and friend. It is a blessing to have him be able to express what he wants. That takes a huge burden off us. We will miss him terribly but look forward to that day when we will all be together again and most especially, with our Lord.
Thank you all. Your kind words, prayers and encouragement are gratefully appreciated, more than you will ever know.
Love,
Susan
