R has had a peaceful and comfortable day.  We hooked up the DVD player in the bedroom and he's had his own Gaither concert all day today.  This evening we received a the DVD - Going Home by the Gaithers and we are hoping that it helps get him a little closer to departing this life and enter the gates of Heaven. He is very ready and honestly we don't know what God is waiting for.  We've ask that question all day long.

The visitors and food have all been amazing.  We are so so so blessed.  We hope you all know you are important and mean tons to each of us.  We received a video from Spain today from one of "our girls".  J is like a daughter to us and we know she feels bad about being so far away.  Her video touched my heart and I made sure R heard it as well.  I think it was after that - we found a couple of tears coming from his eyes.
J - we love you tons!!!  You mean the world to us. 

The Hospice nurse came today as she has almost everyday this week..... she has requested to be here no matter what happens at any time of day. She is a very sweet nurse.  She was telling us her background in Nursing and then she mentioned she felt a real connection with R - turns out she has Melanoma Cancer which is what R has in his Spinal Cord. Her's is not in the same place - but none the less she has it.  My heart goes out to her. 

On another note - another good friend of ours has a baby due today - I talked to her and told her to get going on the Labor Deal....  It only stands to reason - God Takes One and God Gives One.  Please pray for strength for all of us to get through the next few days.  Thank you so much for all the prayers!!
