Hi, Author, this is so touching. The love shines through. You even think of asking God to give your husband something to do as you know he cannot be idle. I'm sorry for your loss, but as a story this is awesome.

I am so sorry you are losing you husband. I hope he is not suffering too much. He is lucky to have a loving wife and to ready to go and have complete faith that he is in God's loving hands. You must be a very stong person with a strong faith of your own. My prayers are with you. Good luck in the contest.

This is a great autobiographical entry filled with memories and emotions. The reader is drawn in at the very beginning and experiences all kinds of emotions from great sadness to happy times all entwined with love. Faith obviously gives comfort, peace, and hope. Well written...a winner! JudithMarie

The reason I deducted one star from my rating is that you do not begin the story with "I remember," as the contest rules specify. This would be very easy to fix. Perhaps you might begin with, "I remember worshipping with my husband...." (Let me know if you edit it and I will also edit my rating to 5 stars.)

This is so touching and so real. I'm so glad you have the resource of prayer through which to channel your thoughts and feelings. And thank you for sharing them with we who read them as well. My heart goes out to you as you go through this painful process of losing your husband for a little while. My best to you, Jeanie Mercer

    Thanks for the heads up. I totally missed that "I remember" part of the qualifications. I guess winning isn't all that important to me. I appreciate your kinds words.

    Your new first line is just perfect! (I have edited my rating to five stars.) JM

A beautifully written, though very sad story of your loving husband. Lovely presentation as well. However, you will need to make some changes in order to qualify for this contest, as the rules state you must BEGIN your story with "I remember.." which you have forgotten to do? Thanks for sharing and best of luck in the contest. Betty

The section where you ask God what jobs he will have for Dave in heaven really resonated with me - you're so right - I cannot imagine paradise is a place where folks just sit idle and watch the clouds roll by. LOL I love the jobs you figure he would excel at :-)
I am so very sorry your husband is so gravely ill. I will keep both of you in my thoughts and prayers. Brooke

Oh, your story is written so well and tells such a loving, but sad story. Because of your faith you are able to be strong as you watch your husband die. I don't doubt that this story will win the contest. Kat
