My best friend, Ruthe, passed away last week, after 1 1/2 year battle with pancreatic cancer. Her and her family have lived across the street from us for 19 years. She was Christian, so I know she is dancing with angels today.
When Dana left 4 years ago, my relationship with Ruthe grew so much. She was such a blessing to me , always lending an ear and a prayer.
The last few months, Ive been over there daily, helping in any way. Now, I know why the Lord led us to this house...so many years ago. I am so honored to be a servant of the Lord for her and her family during this time.
Ive had a house full of her friends who come to visit. It is so awesome to see new friendships forming.
I miss her.
Dana has been helping out a lot...airport runs, Costco runs. He was also extremely close to Ruthe as a friend.
With all this happening with our friends, Dana was not able to go home (escape to Oregon) for Thanksgiving, so he is very down. My parents invited him to Thanksgiving (they sat together at funeral reception, Saturday)..he said no. Our daughter and her family invited us to Thanksgiving at their house (first time for them, since we usually do it...even since we've been separated) and Dana says he already accepted invite from a "friend" in Aurora...a town close to us. I'm hurt (and so is daughter) that he is putting this friend before us, his family. I will zip my lips.
Please lift us up in prayer.
Wishing you all many blessings this day and always!

TK, I am praying for Ruthe’s family and for you. I know that it is hard even though it was expected, and she’s now with God. I am praying for peace for sad hearts. What a blessing that you have had this opportunity to serve and to show love!
I can also understand the disappointment that Dana would choose not to be with you. I have been reflecting on that verse about not letting a root of bitterness grow within (in Hebrews 12, verse 15 I think) because I’ve been struggling with a lot of anger lately. Remember to just give it to God and focus on enjoying time with your daughter! I’m praying for you in this area too.
