Sheri had spent several days feeling sorry for herself, before she realized that in her grief she had missed the real "epiphany". As Sheri had started the journey to look for facilities for Bob, Sheri had been crying out to God, asking Him to clearly show her how she would know if it was okay to place Bob when it was time. As Sheri was stuck in her grief about the shower incident, God wiped the tears away long enough to let her see the answer to her prayer. The answer was in the "shower incident." Bob allowed some one else to care for him in the most personal way, it did not matter that it was not Sheri.
Bob will be confused when Sheri places him, but not fearful, he is truly living in the moment. The power of the answer to that prayer, released a burden from her shoulders that Sheri really can not put in to words. She knows now deep in her heart that when she places Bob it will be hard, but it will be okay. Their future rests in God's hands.
God is good all the time.

God is wonderful and he has answered your prayers. It’s one of the hardest decisions to make; to know when the time is right to place your love one in a home.
