Saying Goodbye

This isn't really about the Wild Widows but it does deserve a post. Besides three of the 6 wild ones were along for the ride.  I told about the loss of my brother but didn't tell you the most wonderful trip we made just weeks before he died.
When Dan (my brother) would be in such severe pain there were times he would call for his "Moma".  He and his wife live in Tempe, AZ.  Late one night his wife called to see if there was any way we could get my Mom to talk to him.  Maybe bring him some comfort.  It was so beautiful how our God puts things in motion.  All during the night I kept hearing "Check flights".  It would not go away.  Now we had already reserved a 15 passenger van to go and visit them the following week. On that Friday they did not know if he would make it until then. Saturday morning we decided to explore our options.  I truly love how our Lord puts things together.  We found one way flights for $79.  We booked them, caught a flight that night and spent the next week by his side. 


He was able to tell his moma he loved her and she him. 
The rest of the family arrived on Friday with the van.

The most beautiful thing is of the 16 children, 12 made the trip(along with 2 in-laws and I nephew) to say their goodbyes at this time.  What a beautiful celebration.
