I just, literally, bumped into Terri's dad. I was going out of the hotel as he was coming in. I blurted, "Mr. Schindler!" He turned and I introduced myself and told him a lot of people were coming from out of state. He said he saw that yesterday and was vastly encouraged. He said he believed God was going to do a miracle, but sometimes he wished God was tell them what he was up to. I told him God rarely does, and mentioned Mary and Martha who thought Jesus was late, when he was really just precisely on time. He said he believed that. Without thinking I gave him a big hug and told him not to worry, but to keep praying -- I hope he didn't mind the hug. I didn't even think about it, it just seemed the right thing to do. He looks tired, but like he's still going strong.
Terri's dad needs lots of hugs. He gives them prn too. I was having a bad day last year and he was there to cheer me up. All he's got on his mind and he just loves everybody. These are people of faith. They are God's children above all else. I love Terri's parents, brother and sister. They've enriched my life and so has Terri.
You have already worked as an instrument to lift up one of the most anguished people in this travesty...Terri's daddy! Thank you for this post, and may GOD BLESS your efforts cut the chains that have cut into Terri for so long!!!
