Forever Friends


I "borrowed" this post from Cathy's blog.  They have been so generous to check on Dad and visit.  After their visit on Saturday, Cathy posted this.  Thank you so much for your kind words and your friendship.  It means so much to all of us.
Bubba and I have been friends

with Robert and Sandra Rushing

since we were teenagers.

We were in each others weddings.

Sandy and I were pregnant with

Brant and Amanda at the same time.

Before the kids came,

we would sit up into the early hours of the morning

playing cards and laughing our heads off.

Today we were reminiscing about

a trip we took to the mountains in the dead of winter.

We were in Robert's dads small station wagon

and we had to stop and put on snow chains

because it was snowing so hard.



Robert has Alzheimer's disease.

He is living in a care facility.

We are all very sad.

God is in control of all of this,

but it is still a hard course to walk down.



God tonight I pray for

Your grace and mercy and kindness to Robert &Sandy,

Kellie & Rick, Brant, and Blake, Bryson, and Brett.

May they feel Your comfort and love in this season and the days to come.



We love all of you,

bubba & cathy
