Do (or did) you want to lose your parents? Franklin is not just the heir, he’s the son.

I didn’t.

But when when my dad was in a coma in the hospital I gave him permission to die. He took two more breathed and did just that. There was no change in his condition that made me think that his death was imminent.

There comes a point when we must acknowledge that time is near.

I know I fought every minute of every day for my friend before she finally passed but, the night I finally accepted her time was near she kissed me in this soft way she never kissed me and she left within the hour.

We don’t want it to happen but, she was 101 years and 5 months. She had a couple bouts with respiratory and at their age each round becomes more difficult until pneumonia drowns them or their little hearts give up from the battle.

I fear our beloved Reverend is near that point and we should wish him well in his next life and pray for his family.

Man does not know his time....but God certainly gives us signals....
Hospice saw the signals that my dad was in his last few days, hours....and requested I give him permission to let go.---I did.--(it broke my heart)

The Chaplain said dad could still hear me..... I held his hand and prayed and sang some of his favorite hymns.

I believe this is what Franklin Graham is experiencing with his dad....

It's heartbreaking, no matter how prepared you think you are.---but I knew where dad was going & how joyful his reunion.----He so wanted to be with mom....and Jesus.....and now he is.
