P.S.,I forgot to tell you

Honey goes through so much and is still kind, patient and funny. He asked me to read from the Bible each visit, often requesting the book and verse. He shares that his favorite verse is John 14: 6-7. "Jesus answered, " I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you really know me, you would know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him."

Mom loves singing to Bruce on her visits. He and her get laughing often.



Bruce tasted some things yesterday. Tomatoe soup, white milk, coffee, water, and even some chocolate milk. Odd choices but who cares. He purred with each new taste. It has been about 6 months since he had any food or beverage by mouth.
Please keep the prayers coming and I would love to here from you too.
Love
Shelly and Bruce

Shelly and Bruce--Joe and I have followed your blog ever sense it was started, and we say a pray for you both everyday. God is good and we have faith that he will keep you both safe and protect you. Joe has always thought so much of Bruce and always thought that he was not only a wonderful human being but a very good friend. The first time Joe came to the hospital to visit Bruce he came home with tears in his eyes, took me by the hand and we knelt in prayer for you both.

I have looked and look for this picture that Bruce, Ken and Joe took together while working at Steelcase, well I found it and I wanted to share it with you.

You Can view the photo here…….This is a great shot!
