I heard from Faithworks Ministries in Brunswick, GA, this morning about preparations for getting something in place from the funds donated to them last spring in Doug's memory.
The delay has been due primarily by the fact that Karen's House of Hope, which sheltered us, was run by Faithworks Ministries but owned by the hospital, and has been permanently replaced by Nunnaly House, a purpose-built facility. Larger, newer, can provide more in the way of services....all those good things, and still served by the wonderful folks at Faithworks Ministries.
Nunnaly House has been open and in use since early summer, I believe, but has just completed landscaping the new grounds. :) We are thinking permanent benches and perhaps a magnolia tree. :blush:
I love the idea of benches in the garden, also a magnolia tree.....the magnolia being the state flower of two of our favorite states....Mississippi and Louisiana. :blush:
So, for those who donated, or are otherwise aware, and have been wondering what was going to be done with these funds, this is an update. :) I have stayed on top of this, just have had nothing to share since June or so.
For those who are scratching their heads and thinking....what????....see the Pray for Doug thread in the Off Topic Forum.
The last couple of weeks have been very difficult, and I have been working to try to restore my sense of peace and equilibrium.
Asking for help with this, and for something to help me regain a more positive focus....doing some concrete planning for a permanent, useful memorial seems to be the answer to my requests. :blush:
I'll take it. :)
