Thank you and you're right about what they do remember...he was literally raised in a church parsonage...his dad was a Lutheran minister. He seems to remember all the hymns, order of service, and more popular passages. Before his strokes he always used to tell us all to remember that the shortest, most important sentence in the Bible was this: God is love. And that has been the basis for most of his life's decisions. I've never known a more loving human being, ever. I know that though we are being tested, our love and faith in the Lord is strong. I tell him what I tell my 2 yr old granddaughter when she's struggling: you've got this. I guess I should tell that to myself too. Thank you for responding and taking the time on this lonely stranger. I don't often fall apart, but today has been difficult. Definitely a test. Hopefully one we will pass.
