Sunday 29 June 2130hrs to 30 June 2025, 0200hrs
Both Geraldine my sister and I were at my dad’s bedside as he was struggling to breathe. It was surreal that this would actually be the last moments we have with him.
Growing up I had bad asthma attacks. Dad was always by my side with his healing hands rubbing my chest with talcum and comforting me. When sick with high fever he was there with a handkerchief and a bowl of water to bring my temperature down. He did likewise for my younger sister. Ever patient and loving.
So today we were hoping he felt comforted by our touch and affirmation. We were blessed to be present at his bedside when he breathed his last finally at peace, no more pain! No more struggling to breathe. He is now in the loving embrace of our Lord Jesus Christ. ❤️
