11/15
Sharon finally settled in during the wee hours and "slept" some of the night, albeit still with very laboured breathing. This morning we met with Dr. Norton and got a clear, honest and loving picture of the status of her lymphoma. Sharon is being placed on hospice here in the hospital. While not nearly as successful as yesterday's "date" she's been up and out of bed for coffee this morning as well as winning a family game of Pass the Pigs, much to Marks chagrin as he was close behind. There’s more to say but this will suffice for now.
In my head, I'm picturing Sharon throwing a double snouter at the buzzer...
ReplyDeleteEnjoy these times together and Happy Birthday to Sharon. You remain in our prayers.
ReplyDeleteTerry, I went down that difficult and too quick road with Doris back in 2004. So it is with great sadness that I read what you are going through. Blessings to Sharon, you, the boys, other relatives, and former dorm students at this time. I notified Kael and Daniel about Sharon since she played a large part in their spiritual and educational lives in Taiwan. One thing I learned from close missionary friends when I was in your shoes was that sometimes people we love are waiting for us to give them permission to go and be with Jesus. He will take care of them a lot better than we were ever able to do even though we deeply loved them for many years. Grace and peace to you all in the name of Jesus.
ReplyDeleteLove you guys, and for the love get that woman some weed and a giant latte !💕💕!
ReplyDeleteMy heart breaks as I read your update. Nothingborepares you for your beloved's departure. We are praying for the moments to be sweet, the love to be palitable, the joy of her life etched on your deep within you all. Oh may our Lord comfort you all in these days. Please express our gratitude for her selfless service to our Lord and for the love she poured out to our son, Joshua while he was in yours and sharons home there in Taiwan. Your family has blessed so many.
ReplyDeletePlease let us know if you need anything at all.
All our love, Dwayne & Melissa Hughes
Dear Terry, Sharon and boys, May God wrap His loving arms around you. The times are hard, but with Jesus by your side, He will help you through.

Don
I've been, am, and will continue praying for you all.

Love you guys and miss you so much! Praying continuously for God's presence and peace to wrap you all in very tangible ways. So thankful for your love for God and others, praising God for how He has been able to use you to be such a shining light during a dark time. May God continue to be your strength and carry you all.
ReplyDeleteLove you all and so thankful for your family! Praying continuously for you all!
ReplyDeleteLove, Katie and Sean
As one of the many people to (over and over again) experience God's love in the form and style of Sharon...there are not enough words to say "thank you" and feel that the thanks match the debt.
ReplyDeleteJoe and I continue to pray for peace and comfort. So glad Uncle Art, Gwenn and the boys are surrounding both of you in love. I love that the nurses you have had are also filled with God's love. Joe and Millie
ReplyDeleteLove you guys. Elliot and I are praying constantly. I just hate cancer. I'm getting to know Sharon so much more through the posts people are posting and man, what a beauty God made. I'm thankful for her life.
ReplyDeleteGod is BIG Terry! We don't always get to understand his ways but keep trusting Him. He is so BIG. The Father knows your pain. Elliot and I love you, brother and sister Terry and Sharon.

Known Sharon my whole life. Earliest memory is ping pong at DaChia. Most recent (some 40 years later) an evening with the Bonsai's on my roof just several weeks ago. In between, countless more great memories! "Full of God given grace and concern for others..." That's what comes to mind when I think of you over the years Sharon! Okay, your laugh comes to mind as well! :-). You guys have been a consistent and steady presence... Thank you!

Happy birthday Mrs. McGill!
ReplyDeleteBeen thinking a lot about you guys recently. Those days in the dorms were some of the best in my life. You guys truly brought home the meaning of having a solid family. Praying for you guys! -Juan
What a wonderful welcomer (is that a word?) Sharon is and what fond memories we have of entering that warm, whimsical, charming world known as the McGill Dorm. Holli and I so fondly recall our precious time visiting with you, most recently in 2015, and all the delightful conversations and laughter we shared with you then. Our prayers are with you all during this time. Thank you for sharing your hearts, as you’ve always so generously done, while you walk through this challenging but grace-filled time. Steve & Holli Brooks
ReplyDeleteContinuing to keep all of you in our thoughts and prayers as you walk this path.
