Hello Friends,
I wanted to give an update regarding Marv. He had a downward turn over the weekend. Hospice has been brought into the home.
Marv is staying with his family, they live about 7 hours South from our neck of the woods. The family has shared that we are welcome to visit Marv whenever we want. They have been great with keeping us posted on how he is doing. Thank you for the prayers for Marv.
If you are new to reading The River you can find many a story about our dear friend Marv. A 92 year old who always told me he was "39" who loved to play jokes, looked at the positive of life, (even when the punches kept coming his way), never stopped learning and loved our two boys.
The jokes he played on us and more can be found here.
I am so sorry! I know this is especially hard because he is so full of life and joy.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear this with sweet Marv. I know this must be hard with him being far away. He knows how much you love him and that will help as this next part of journey begins. Prayers. xoxo
ReplyDeleteCarla, I think Marv loves all of you as much as you love him. I will pray for him. I am sure you learned a lot about gardening from him. I hope all of you are well. Blessings and hugs my sweet friend, xoxo,love, Susie
ReplyDeleteIt's so hard to see someone reach the end of their life...we're never ready to let them go. How great that you have so many good memories! I'm keeping him in my prayers and glad Hospice is there to help. Hugs!

ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry about your friend Marv and I hope that the move will be good for him to be close to his family. Sorry that it's so far from where you live. I'm sure your visit would perk him up. I'll keep him in my prayers.
