"This, then is our desert:
to live facing despair,
but not to consent.
To trample it down under hope in the Cross.
To wage war against despair unceasingly.
That war is our wilderness.
If we wage it courageously,
we will find Christ at our side.
If we cannot face it,
we will never find him."
Sad news, George was no doubt a part of your family.

Am very close to being in a similar situation (probably a matter of a few weeks, barring a miracle). You have my deepest sympathies.

I'm sorry. He was a fine dog.
ReplyDeleteGolly, I'm so sorry. Nobody who hasn't had a dog understands, do they? But you're right; 'thank you' is just right.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to see that George is gone. I know he was very special to Kathryn.
