Well, I would love to escape. But I would be leaving my elderly parents to fend for themselves. And what kind of person would I be if I did that.
Both my wife and I are paring down the household. We are preparing to go to the UHaul office after we leave the funeral home for the second time.
Trust me, I understand this is a choice. But there are issues greater than my own situation.
Isn’t that what we are supposed to do? Honor our parents?
Understood. Blessings accrue to you for being a good son: “Honor your father and mother” (this is the first commandment with a promise), that it may go well with you and that you may live long in the land.”
And prayers for your successful escape when you have fulfilled your duty!
