....last night (July 14th), with a room full of family we said our good-byes, told him it was okay to go....and I held him tight while he peacefully made his exit from this world. For a lack of better words right now, it was a beautiful moment. Throughout the evening, my amazing little Leah walked in the room and gave me more hugs than I've gotten in a long time....she just knew Mommy needed her..... |

It seems his final days are upon us.....the last couple weeks have been challenging and sad, but also amazing and loving and full of wonderful friends and family. Justin seems comfortable and can still smile, and roll his eyes at us or give us that "what-are-you-talking-about" sarcastic type look....and he still puckers his lips to get a kiss from me, just like he has for the last 10 years. Yesterday little miss Leah was sharing Goldfish crackers with everyone, and she wanted Daddy to have one, too.....so the Goldfish cracker continues to hang out on Daddy's belly, just in case he gets hungry. |

J, K & Lil L are home....it's a bit challenging at times and I could not do it alone....my amazing family & friends have been around day and night for help and support....and when I say amazing, I mean it!! As far as time goes, the doctors say we probably have a few more weeks to say good-bye to Justin. I say this not to sadden you...but because we have been given the chance to say good-bye. Our home is an "open house" these days....and it warms my heart to see so many friends & family walk through our front door.*****Justin is...slowly changing...we seem to notice the physical and mental changes with each day.*****Yesterday, to keep Justin occupied we kept giving him Leah's toys....so many times Leah would just hop up on his hospital bed and the 2 would play.....these are the cherished memories that we will hold onto........ |

We're going home today.....not sure how it'll all go, but we're going to give it a try. I hope to have a couple people with Justin at all times, and perhaps hire some outside help. The hospice people will provide whatever equipment we need and be there to help from time-to-time. Feel free to stop by anytime. |

Justin is still hanging out at St. E's- Room 501. They're trying different pain medication "cocktails"....trying to find stuff that takes care of the pain w/o causing too many other not-so-good side effects. Our 6th wedding anniversary was yesterday. The nurses brought us 2 little decorated cakes and some ginger ale....Justin ate one cake, Leah ate the other! Last night, through blurred eyes (well, my eyes..not so much Justin's) we watched some of our wedding video...oh-so-bittersweet. ****** I'm not 100% sure where Justin will head after he leaves St. E's...we're still considering the different options. ***** This morning, Justin's mom came to hang out with him...so I told him I was heading to work for a bit....he said "Work...why are you going to work while we're on vacation!" ****I know sooo many people have offered to help with ANYTHING...and if I think of something I will let ya know. But please know that your hugs, kind words, emails, visits...just knowing how many people are thinking and praying about us warms the heart, lifts our spirits.....the bottom-line is- it all truly helps...and I thank you.
Love- J, K & lil L |
