Thank you for your care, pnsn. I am certain that your advice (and everyone’s prayers and advice) will reach him, as I have pumped this OP link back up the line, with the suggestion that a laptop to read it to him might bring him some comfort.
God is the same today as The One Who kept Moses for a hundred and twenty years old and his eyes were not dim, nor his natural force abated. HE NEVER CHANGES nor a respector of person. We know that for HE SAID IT so we know Uri'el will arise and walk AND drive. Case closed!
