Jesus went throughout
Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the
kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people. Matthew 4:23
NIV
Hospice interrupted our drawings. Five and three-year-old
fingers gripped Crayola's while Dad was slipping away. He only had hours and I
needed to go. But what do I tell my grandchildren? How do you explain you're
saying good-bye to your dad without frightening them?
They'd already experienced the loss of their grandmother less
than a year ago, so they were familiar with good-byes. I wish I could spare
them, but these kids are inquisitive and intuitive. While I fumbled
for my shoes and waited for their dad to arrive, they asked the question.
"Where are you going Grams?"
