“I just got a call from Bob and they’ve discontinued (his wife’s) feedings and they are just giving comfort care. They expect her to pass in the next 24-36 hours.”

Prayer would be most welcomed and appreciated.

Still praying.

And you thought the one you posted for us all to see which sat off the road was nice; when all the time the Lord had this one set aside just for the Taff family.

I won’t lie and tell you that the pain of your mom’s homecoming will evaporate w/ the move; because it won’t. But if you hold tight to the promises of Ecclesiastes your grief will be less devastating. I truly did undertake a move 28 years ago this coming June w/ in days of my mom’s passing; and it did make a difference.

In reading I thought of you, Russ, Madi and Charlotte in regards to breaking down the life you’ve shared in your current home, and placing it piece by piece into boxes readying them for their new surroundings and the home where your grandchildren will spend summer days on that beautiful porch, or passed on and given away to others. “a time to break down, and a time to build up; A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance; A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together”
As morose as it may seem, you have a clean slate; by that I mean there is no “Mental Family Photo Album” in your mind, you won’t enter a room; remember a special moment shared, and experience waves of sadness. It may seem odd @ first, but it does help.

I wish you all the joy the Lord has to offer; and may the Holy Spirit fill each and every corner, nook and cranny.

This house is absolutely adorable! Everything about it says, “Come on in! Sit a spell and have some coffee and banana bread.” So many of your friends have prayed for this house for you and Russ, now I’m praying God will bless it and your family with peace and contentment within it’s walls, and may every room be furnished with joy, thankfulness,…….and LOVE! I’m so happy for you!

So……how are you going to furnish that gorgeous porch? Rocking chairs? Planters?

So happy for you guys!

(Wanna know…is the monkey lamp staying or going?)

We moved into our present home very soon after my mother went Home. At first, I was sad that mother didn’t even have a chance to see our home…but as time went on, while I felt blessed with so many wonderful memories of mother, I didn’t have those memories of seeing her everywhere I looked in our “now” home…and have that missing-her sadness envelope me even more.

So, you’re moving….answered prayers are so very sweet.

Love you, sweet lady, and know you are always in my thoughts, heart, and prayers. Remember, you never walk alone.

Secondly, your house is beautiful – so homey from the outside. I am just a tad jealous, not too much to be sinful, just a little haha.

You are a beautiful person and I know how much you love and adore your family. I am excited you get to create a new home and sit on that big ole porch sippin’ your favorite beverage. Mine at this time is a cup of hot coffee since it seems fitting for this cool spring day. Enjoy it and live blessed.

This is just beautiful. I LOVE it.
Love old homes like this. It will be even more awesome, with your touch!
God bless you guys as you make your new start here.

Looking forward to seeing you soon.
Love you lady!
