On the Side Lines

ByThe Reverend Katherine

My mind is racing, the music in the den seems louder this morning, and my heart lays heavy in my chest. My Father in Law passed away suddenly Tuesday morning. My sweet hubby will be flying home to Michigan to attend another funeral of a beloved family member. Sadly I can’t accompany him. No flying for me, Doctor’s orders. It may cause an embolism. So I sit here on the side lines in prayer and meditation awash in the grief my family shares.
I ask that you to please include us in your prayers today and I thank you as always for being a bloggy friend at Katherines Corner.
I’ll see you tomorrow for TFT xo

  1. Oh katherine
    I am so sorry to hear this news. I saw the funeral potatoes post and dug around to get the details.
    It means so much you emailed me a guest post during this loss. Sorry I was out of pocket when you shared this news.

  9. Prayers for you and your family, Katherine! I know how you must feel because when our Australian daughter-in-law married our son on Michigan’s Mackinac Island, her father and sister came but her mother had to remain in Australia for the same reason as you.

  11. I’m so sorry for your sudden loss. That is just so hard to process, and I am sure it is hard for you not to be able to go. Sending you love and warmth today. My peonies look just like the ones in our photo, and they give me hope in the face of some tough things as well.

  18. I will definitely be praying for you and your whole family. I cannot imagine what you are going through not being able to be there to support your loved ones but know He knew before this ever happened and has them in His hand. Big hugs and thank you for sharing with us.

  32. Katherine, I’m so so sorry, both for your loss, and your inability to be with your husband. I know, all to well, the feeling of being “on the sidelines” from health issues. Keep praying and I will pray with and for you, too.
    With much love and comfort,
    Theresa
