I can't sleep, so I guess I will start a post about my parents. We haven't lost just my parents, my mother-in-law went to be with the Lord in February, my remaining grandmother died in November, and in December one of my wife's nieces died in an appearent suicide, (somewhat suspicious to us).
Just after Grandma went into the hospital in November, my parents dropped of the face of the Earth, so to speak. This wasn't unusual, and we were led to believe that they had intended to do it, and that they would call when they wanted to talk.
Then in January a local police officer came to the door. He was there to inform me that they had found my parents' bodies. They were shot to death in their own home, probably the night I called to tell Mom about Grandma being in the hospital.
I can't go into many details, because of this being an open forum, since their death made the news all over the country for a few days. They gave a man a place to stay, and he shot them.
There is an upside, they had too many "ghosts" from the past chasing them through life to ever have a tangible peace here. They died because they were as generous as they were able. They didn't have much, but they shared it. I am certain of my mother's relationship with the Lord and hopeful of my dad's, so they now have the only peace they were going to have.
I miss them, and my mother-in-law the most of those we have lost in the last few months. It makes it harder that we weren't as close as we would have liked, but my immediate famly needed my attention first, and I didn't get to visit as much as I wanted.
I can't say any more.
