We have Christmas music playing this morning. Oh, how Dad loves holiday celebrations! We know that the season ahead will always be difficult without him here to share in the fun. He's always loved Christmas morning... as much (if not more) than his grandkids do, I think!
Celebrating JesUs' birth... He adores the music, the lights, the laughter - and the list goes on & on. My youngest son, Austin, renamed Christmas at our house last year. Since más means more in Spanish, he decided that ChristMAS should be known as ChristMORE! I expect that in Heaven; it's been known more like that forever.
Momma T, along with my brother Tony and I, were talking this morning about what the birthday celebration in Heaven must be like. I'm sure it's not the same type of party (you know, priorities are different there), but we figure Dad will most certainly give God some great ideas for upgrading it.
As for Dad's current status; I'll use Tony's words in saying, "Sure shows us how healthy Bud was before this happened". That's the truth, for sure. Dad's heart rate & respirations, although wildly irregular from time-to-time, tend to be running in the 100-120 & 15-20 ranges respectively. Meds, soothing touches from the loving family members closeby, as well as the hand of God are keeping him calm & comfortable.
Oh, how we miss his voice and his touch already!
Merry ChristMORE, Dad!
