Be Brave

Good evening. Friday blog. I was given a beautiful devotional today. 100 Days to brave from my daughter. She has a lot underlined and highlighted! As I was reading all about being brave in a lot of areas. I thought of Denny and the great strength he had during his fight against Parkinson’s and it’s dreadful complications! He fought long and hard, to keep his body mobile! The Big program at Bay Park was the best. A licensed therapist in the Big movements! He kept up as long as he could. He was signed on again with her, for last fall. But, pneumonia came, then the feeding tube. He did join the boxing group, Knockout Parkinson’s. The hospital stay kept him from going back. He did really well while he was there. He really did fight. He had therapies, in the rehabs. There was always a set back. We knew he was losing ground! We prayed and prayed for time to get him stronger. While watching him get weaker. Those were all tough decisions last fall. We all had to learn being brave, trying to stay positive and upbeat for him! Lots of pictures were taken last fall, and I see a brave face, braver than mine! I thought about God, the scriptures, the promises, all gave Denny and I strength together! Now us left behind, have to and want to, be brave for each other! Most days we pull it off, but, not without tears. That’s me anyway. Denny Reed, you taught all of us lessons in life, but never more than when you had to face losing who you were? Thank you for the road we had to hoe together! You brave soul! Thank you for sending a Cardinal, 4 times! I love you forever and always! Good night. God bless.❤️🤗🙏🏻🤗❤️
