Heaven can wait! I am going to Philly!

By
Real Estate Agent with Maverick Realty

Well, I am going again to visit my family in Philly! (should a post reflect the real life and times of a person??)

The real reason I am going to Philadelphia is to see my brother again. ( I was just there about 2 weeks ago) I know many of you read an earlier post by me called "This is one sad day", in case anyone cares to know, this is a follow up to that. So many of you have been so sweet and so supportive. I normally don't share my feelings or my sadness. The "rain" has been very good to me. I do appreciate all of you.  Thanks for letting me share.  

If you didn't read it , I will give you a brief synopsis....I may as well get the really heart-wrenching part over with. My brother Mike, who is just 18 months younger than me, is really ill. I still don't believe it. They say he is terminally ill, and he is now on "hospice." So, I need to go and see him again.  I have got to go as often as I possibly can.  You know, without your health, what do you really have? Without God in your life, what do you really have? He is giving me the strength to carry on....

Part of me keeps saying,they can't be right. They aren't always right, are they? I need to believe that right now. Sometimes they are wrong.........for now, I believe they are wrong, they made a mistake! It is much too sad and too hard for me to accept it right now.

Well, you know , I can't hardly bring myself to accept that he is "terminal".  That is my "baby" brother who is so close to my age, he can'tleave.  He can't go anywhere away from here. I have got to visit him as much as I can. Work and everything else will just have to wait.  And, another thing..........

 

Blue sky with clouds

 

Remember that movie, Heaven can wait?  Well, that's how I feel,   Heaven Can Wait!  (I Hope)

UPDATE 11/17/08 ~ HEAVEN IS WAITING!!  IT IS A MIRACLE!  I THANK GOD FOR WAITING EVERYDAY!  I LOVE MY BROTHER!

Vickie...enjoy what time you can.  It's tough to loose a loved one no matter what the age...but, especially when they are younger than we are.   I will put both of you and your families in my prayers...

Vickie,

It is good that you are getting to spend time with your brother. I'm praying that the Lord will provide you with the strength and peace to truly enjoy that time with him. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family

I look forward to meeting you next week. BTW, I love sushi too but I guess we'll be outvoted by the other AR members attending ;)
