Celebrating Christmas & Planning for Dad to Come Home

Yesterday we celebrated Christmas as a family. We played guitar in Palliative Care, took pictures, and opened small presents (mostly these were animals donated to families supported by the Christian Reformed World Relief Committee as well as books and toys for Aiden).

If all goes well, today will be the last full day that Dad spends at VGH before he comes home. In preparation for the move, we have started transferring Dad's things out of the hospital. Bringing Dad home might require some adjustment time, so today is probably a good day to visit him in the hospital. Tomorrow with the transition home, we would like to request that anyone who wishes to visit Dad in Langley wait until Wednesday or later.

  5. Dear Pastor Bill, Judy and family,
    You are constantly in my thoughts and prayers.
    At the Prayer meeting I kept getting the picture of God’s Hands.
    I know that you are in His Hands. His hands are there to guide you,
    strengthen you, and hold you tight.
    They are also a safe place to express your feelings, whatever they may be.
    It could be fear, sorrow, anger or peace. He knows and will hold you through this journey.
    I’m so thankful that you have time together as a family but also very amazed at your generosity
    to share your husband and Dad with all of us.
    I pray for a smooth transition to home without too much pain,
    Love Louise
