Reflection: #059
The sad
situation in which Don Joseph P. Skipper finds himself triggers unspeakable
sadness in me.
As he
shared in a personal note, his mother passed away recently, and he devoted
himself to her care and responsibility until the end.
Even before
his mother's death, his wife was diagnosed with cancer. His mother was dying in
the hospital, and his wife was also hospitalized undergoing chemical
treatments. Don Skipper has now written
a new note announcing that his wife cannot be cured.
I know that
hundreds of thousands die of cancer in the world each year—I too have lost two
loved ones to it. Every single loss is a wound that never fully heals.
A person
fills a room with their soul and body in life. When they leave our dimension,
they leave a vacuum in space and in our personal world.
The hearty
laughter of that person, the advice or help from them—for us, no longer exists.
The questions we posed go unanswered.
The
affection we seek is no longer there. The hand of a mother who spent her life
caring for her children is gone.
"Goodbye
forever" is the most painful experience in human life. I ask all believers to pray for the man
himself, his wife, and his mother. Perhaps the Lord God will perform a miracle
and heal her at the last moment.
"Oh
Lord, let this cup pass from them now, but Thy will be done." Most
heartfelt wishes of Christian resignation to Don Skipper and his wife.

Addendum:
A new
personal note released from Mr. Skipper:
PERSONAL NOTE (2/14/2011): Sandy, my wife, the light of my life, my
close partner of 47+ years, passed away today at home in my arms of the cancer
before I could get alternative treatment sufficiently developed. She was and is
the most important thing in the world to me and never when I was a young man
meeting her for the first time did I ever imagine that someone could be so
loyal, true, close, and important or that I would be truly blessed in such a
way. Naturally I blockheadedly took far too much of it for granted. It's a
devastating loss without measure but I will endure and go on because I promised
her that I would.
I am so sad
to have to read this.
The miracle
of healing was not granted. The cup, with its bitter drink, did not pass them
by.
It will not
be easy to get over it. Once more, my most heartfelt wishes of Christian
resignation to Don Skipper. I know that many of his unknown friends sympathize
with him and pray for his mother and wife. I will do so as well. With deepest sadness,
Josef Bauer
