I don't write here very much these days - mostly I blog on my "Valley Journal" blog.
This one is for more personal reflections.
Pax died 33 years ago.
Catherine died four and a half years ago.
Since Catherine died, I got peripheral neuropathy. My arthritic knee deteriorated rapidly. My mother and brother died suddenly. I had knee replacement surgery to fix my knee. And now I have a tumour in my kidney which may or may not be malignant and am awaiting surgery.
Catherine had a tender heart and kind nature, but mentally - due to her condition - she had a hard time dealing with things. An elderly aunt who she hardly knew died and she ended up back in hospital. So it is hard to imagine how she would have dealt with all of this.
"Good people pass away; the godly often die before their time. But no one seems to care or wonder why. No one seems to understand that God is protecting them from the evil to come." (Isaiah 57:1)
I'm actually at a point that I am relieved that Catherine and Pax have been protected from the evil of this world. May they be at peace, and watching over me as I walk through this next valley.
