Sometimes the holiest practice is not on a cushion, not in a church, but sitting vigil in the living room, ten seconds from someone you love.

And yes, I would take sweat equity over ledgered piety any day. The soul remembers the hands that held the broom, not the ones that polished the pew.

Your brother is lucky to have you there in this tender watch. And may your gut be wrong this weekend. But either way, you will meet it with grace.

His condition continues unchanged from when I wrote this. We have had this vigil before. I will walk it with him many more if necessary until he is ready to return home.

I will ache inside but I know I see him again one day. 💕🫂

Debra, I will be praying for you and your brother. Most people know when their time is short. You may be picking up on that vibe from him.

Big hug, sister. 🙏🏻💕
