"Bittersweet Christmas"

Something has happened in our family...a life changing event..
for two sweet people.
It's a bittersweet Christmas this year...

Last week hubby's oldest brother took a fall off a kitchen chair,
 standing in a kitchen chair...
changing a light bulb, for pete's sake!!!

He didn't break any bones, just a knot on the head...

It had to be God...that he didn't suffer a broken hip or worse.

His wife is on dialysis and she spends her days in a wheelchair....nearly all the time.

He laid on the floor all night and most of the next day...with her there with him...
They estimate he laid there for 20 hours...she never called anyone.

The police had to break open the door to get in there...it's just so sad.

I'm sure he was telling her not to call anybody..."I'll get up in a minute"

That's what I hear him saying.

They were married 65 years in April. So completely devoted to each other.
He's been taking care of her all the time without complaint.

He spent a few days in the hospital and then to a nursing home.

They put them together in the same room.

I'm still praying things will work out for them.
They're so cute with each other.

Sure takes some of the joy out of Christmas, though.

They only want to go home.

See ya tomorrow..
