Preparing for the worst....

She changed the obituary and emailed me a copy. I can't even discuss this now.

Cliff Horn

This morning we said good bye to our father. It has been a difficult journey and we are grateful that he is at peace. The plans haven't been finalized but he will be going back to Coleman, Texas to his beloved First United Methodist Church where we want to celebrate his life. So far it looks like that will be Saturday. We would like to try to get some rest before making the trip to Coleman.
I want to thank you for your encouragement and support. I wish I had the ability to express myself but I can only hope that you know what I am trying to say. I talked to my friend and minister this afternoon She said that she could imagine a scenario where everyday God would ask, "Cliff, are you ready to come home?" And he would answer, "Not yet. I don't think they are ready" This morning when God asked he said, "Yes Father, I am ready. They will be okay "

It's Jeremy

Jeremy was born Monday night and weighed in at 7 pounds 11 ounces and was 19.5 inches long. Everyone is fine.
We are watching Hurricane Ike.

and still.....

I never cease to be amazed at the power of the human spirit. Daddy's heart continues to beat. Occasionally there is an extra beat but his heart, that has been beating for almost 91 years, is still going.
In two days I will have a new grandson. I can't help but feel some regret that I will not be present for the beginning of a new life because I am here for the end of another.
