Facebook is good for updates, but hard to control who sees it. This way we have a bit more control.
Please feel free to leave any comments, questions or well wishes on any one of the updates. It will be a great way for Chris to hear them. He is not on his phone, IPad or computer these days (imagine that!). Please feel free to still contact me if you have any concerns or questions that you would prefer to not post here. My information is at the top of this page.
We are just trying to find a process for communication that is easier for all.
We read all of your wonderful, sweet messages and are overwhelmed by the caring and love that you share.

Yesterday was an emotional day for Chris. Several friends and family stopped by and Chris isn’t one to just say goodbye, he has to have a life lesson in that goodbye speech for each person. I know it meant a lot to him to be able to do this. He was very tired all day from […]
Today started off pretty darn rocky. Our goal was a shower. All I can say is thank God for the hospice nurse! She had all the tricks and made it a really wonderful experience for Chris while keeping his dignity. I cannot thank her enough. We would check in on him and he kept saying, […]
Hello everybody this Preston and today I’m going to talk from my perspective so today seemed like a really good day. My dad said his goodbyes to people at his work to tell them that he’s retiring from work. Also, he met with the person who introduced my parents together so that was good and he has been quite […]
