Dear Loren and mid-60s Buick caregivers who have to struggle with our very human world,
Even after a two day, 1500-mile drive, to get back to Nebraska. I'm still in shock.
I won't ever forget the morning calls and his first comment " Did I catch you at a bad time?"
Above is a link to his obituary. It pales in telling of Bill. There is so much more about this man than can be said in an obituary.
Thank you Loren for being our emissary. I'm sure that long drive under tough conditions only added to a stressful situation. Try to find some quiet, peaceful moments to take care of yourself as you prepare for the Wednesday service.
I've always found the Christmas season to be particularly difficult considering the extent to which people make themselves effectively drunk in merrymaking. The reasons for hope are hardly simple or guaranteed. Yesterday while visiting Corsica, the Pope pleaded for a dialog between the secular and religious, instead of faith being forced underground. May we all find the courage to remind the rest of the world that Christmas isn't simply an excuse to party - no matter how many times we are called a party pooper for our honesty.
