God, please help us in celebrating Christmas!
It seems that Cass' most difficult days have yet to come! I did ask God many times that whether it would be too hard for Cass and for my family to bear the situation! At times, my intellect thought that it was the time of the hardest situation......God would move His helping hands to take care of Cass, subdue the pain and make her comfortable......However, it seemed not turning out that way, the doctor had told me couple of times that the hardest days for Cass were coming. The doctor suggested that we seek advanced assistance from other professionals to talk with Cass and to get her prepare for such time to come. Are we all prepared for it? Am I prepared for that day?
I heard that Cass told the nurse that she felt the change in her body. She could tell that she was getting worse, and she actually felt the deterioration this morning! I noticed that Cass woke up a few times with tears in her eyes but she didn't say anything in front of us! She was looking at each of us with such a face that she had so much to tell us, yet she didn't say a word! I comforted her that it would be ok to cry out and to get upset. I told her she did not need to hold her emotions and she had been too brave with her situation. She couldn't even hold the pen to continue her journal last night! Her first watercolour painting that was just completed last week could also be the last painting that she could work on her own! Right after her first painting, she was so thankful that she could be able to finish it. She wanted to continue on painting as well as her journal.
While everyone is looking forward to celebrate the upcoming Christmas, the very special occasion at which God has shown His love to mankind, I would also like to ask that you join me in prayer, asking for God’s love and mercy on Cass. Pray that Cass and my family will continue to keep the simple faith on our Lord, and to just rely on Him to live each day. Also, I would pray that God will reduce the pain from Cass, let her feel more comfortable; and more importantly to have the comfort from Divine as it's a torture to see herself gradually loosing the movement of her body (now her arms are very heavy and head is very heavy and stiff); it is torturing all of us too!
