It is a sad day for us here. Tata Adolfo who was very precious to me has now passed away. He died early this morning. I am sad but happy. I am so happy he no longer has to shiver in the cold nights and endure the pain that he had. I am sad because now sweet Mada is now alone to endure all life's trials by herself. She is a rock. She has cried but not like many here do. She just cried a few silent tears and said, " All he wanted was for his children to come and visit him." Yesterday when he was sitting out in the sun, trying to warm up, he saw a plane and said he hoped some of his kids were on it. He has 7 children and only about 3 of them came to see him regularly. Anyway, please pray for his family as they are all mourning the loss of their father, grandfather and so on. The next 9 days will be somewhat sad around here. They mourn for 9 days.
Our internet has been horrible here and some days we have none. This is the first time we have had it in awhile. So, I will try to post a picture I took of the Mada and Adolfo two days ago. It is priceless. Really priceless. Some days I am so thankful for the little things I am able to offer these people, like electric blankets and lasting memories. Until later.....
This blog was started in 2004 when Annie was badly burnt. Over the years we have seen how God has continually provided for us and answered our many prayers.
Missy, I know these next 9 days will be hard for all of your village in the passing of your friend. It was sad to hear that all of his children did not come to see him. When you said in your other blog about letting him use your electric blanket,I thought, THAT'S MY MISSY.
ReplyDeleteI was so happy to hear that your door to Saint Timmy, don't laugh,or is it Tommy.has opened. I know it will be a long wait to get the house finished, and make the move. We know who is in control, and I know that He will be with you in this time of change. Maybe we will be making a change at the sametime together-:) We will put our house on the market in the spring. Dave is outside right now replacing some of the logs on the side of the house, and triming some bushes. It it sunny and FIFTY-EIGHT DEGRESS. That is pretty good for Nov.11th. Give a hug to my grandchildren. I love this picture if them on the blog.

What a privilege for you to be able to make Adolfo's last days a little easier.
