Pat is my dear parishioner who is not only struggling with Alzheimers', but after his recent kidney operation, the doctors discovered he has six months or less to live due to end-stage malignant, malicious body-wide cancer. I visited him this evening and was so glad to have worn my collar because he recognized the office immediately. He held on to my hand and did not let go. I gave him a little back rub and he kept making sounds of relaxation - thank God for touch!
I am posting this not only to ask for prayers for him, but also to share one of the most insightful quips of the week:
Pat's Wife: Okay, Pat. You behave yourself for the nurses!
Pat: Why?
