Chuck's "posse" (Damon, Jeff and Dennis) arrived early Thursday morning much to Chuck's surprise and delight. That was a "Good" day. He was energized in the love and laughter that always so "them".
As the "boys" came for him, Jeanine came for me.
She and my dear friend Robyn along with the "Posse" kept us entertained and feed. It was good, it was healing. It's been difficult to accept that after such a valiant fight to live, Chuck will be leaving us. He has not been in any pain since he's been home. He was smiling and talking "bikes' with his favorite people and he was happier than I have seen him in a long time.
By Friday, Chuck's declining health is more evident and he sleeps much more. He eats and drinks very little. We brought him out to the livingroom while we talked, ate and laughed. He seemed to be sleeping but I know he was listening to the laughter and stories. He was absorbing the spiritual nutrients that his body and soul needs and craves, right now.
At the end of the night, the boys put Chuck back into bed and said their "good-bye's". It was heartbreaking.
Chuck had a peaceful night as he no longer uses the bedside commode. He is restricted to the bed, now as he grows weaker. He is finally getting his much needed rest.
It is said the reflection of a man's character can be determined by the kind of people he surround himself.
That is so true of our dearest friends and family, who have been exceedly supportive and loving through this very challenging journey. Their steadfast devotion has given us both strength and courage.
With all of my heart, I thank for the gift of "you".........

Aww the "Posse" they really do know how to lift spirits!! I think about your family often, I'm glad to hear that pain is not a struggle, and that Chuck's best nurse(you Ms. Dayna) is taken such great care of him! Love and Prayers to you and all your family!!
