As it became more and more difficult for Joe to drink and eat he developed a love for Blue Bell ice cream. Not any Blue Bell, but old fashioned Vanilla in the small cups that you would serve to kids at a birthday party. He wanted to go visit the Blue Bell factory in Brenham and talked about all the different flavors he would try. I told him that I would take him. We started planning the trip but never got to go because Joe had a seizure. It was then we found out the cancer had spread to his brain. Once Joe was released from the hospital our good friend Heather called Blue Bell to see if they allowed private tours. She found out that they do not. Once she explained Joe's condition they advised if we could be there 1 hour before regular opening hours they would give us a private tour. He was so weak that he could not make the trip. Joe passed away within a week 1/2 later. I become so sad when I think of my promise to get him there. A promise I could not keep. How do you let go of guilt from unfulfilled promises?
Just after posting this blog and thinking of my post, I read the Psalm of the day;
ReplyDelete"The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside still waters, he restores my soul". I smiled because this blog is helping to restore my soul by recalling memories of someone loved by all.
Great idea of the scripture and relating it to your topic.
ReplyDeleteAdriane,
DeleteThank you. The scripture changes each time you enter and exit the blog page. I try to read it and apply it daily. This time is just seemed to fit.

April I LOVE the daily Psalm. Where did you find that program to do a Psalm of the Day? Great addition to this blog!
DeleteSarah,
DeleteThe Psalm of the day was one of the widgets you could select to add to your blog. I like that every time I go in and out of the page the Psalm is updated. You can go to the top right corner of your blog and select the design tab. Once it opens up you can select your template, it is here that you can add a page or widget there are over 800 to choose from. You can also place them anywhere within your template. I used Youtube videos to help me learn how to create/design the blog.
