Hey Kefir Krazies, I am sorry to tell you my dad (86) passed away tonight at 6:00. He had not accepted food since Sunday and had been in a peaceful sleep most of the time. I am thankful to God he was not in any pain or anxiety....and was on no medication. I prayed yesterday that God's will be done. Now it is finished. I haven't told mom (85) yet. She has dementia and doesn't even know who I am, so I don't know if she will understand or remember that her husband of 66 years is gone. Perhaps that's merciful for her. Please pray for courage and strength for me as I make the final arrangements and continue to care for mom. I still keep up the Kefir smoothies every afternoon for all of us. I'm hoping it will boost our immune systems, especially during times of stress.
