When I come to the river at the ending of day
When the last winds of sorrow have blown
There'll be somebody waiting to show me the way
I won't have to cross Jordan alone

I won't have to cross Jordan alone
Jesus died all my sins to atone
In the darkness I see
He'll be waiting for me
I won't have to cross Jordan alone

Often times I'm weary and troubled and sad
When it seems that my friends have all flown
There is one thought that cheers me and makes my heart glad
I won't have to cross Jordan alone

I won't have to cross Jordan alone
Jesus died all my sins to atone
In the darkness I see
He'll be waiting for me
I won't have to cross Jordan alone

Though the billows of trouble and sorrow may sweep
Christ the Savior will care for his own
Till the end of my journey my soul he will keep
And I won't have to cross Jordan alone

I won't have to cross Jordan alone
Jesus died all my sins to atone
In the darkness I see
He'll be waiting for me
I won't have to cross Jordan alone

Bobby's close friend "Hank" (Henry Lauver) died today. I stopped to drop off some paperwork and discovered he was on oxygen and morphine (as of 7 this morning). I went to Target to get supplies for the nurse, stopped at his church to let the Pastor know they were predicting 24-36 hours, and came back to find him gone. I hate that none of his friends or family where with him, but he did have his wish to die at home, and his favorite nurse from Transitions was on duty today. We are shifting gears to deal with what we need to do and trying to figure out where to go from there. I assume we'll know more after tomorrow and should have an answer from his daughters tomorrow about their arrival as well. It bothers me a lot that he was alone at the end, but I also know that is probably the case for many widows and elderly people. I'll post more when I can process my thoughts.
