Yesterday, Carol was talking to a friend and rehashing the last days and moments of Dan's life. And as she was telling it and thinking about it, she remembered that around the 4th of July, things were pretty difficult, and she was caring for him the best that she could.
And looking back on it, knowing that the 10 days that followed would be his last, she wondered if she would have done anything differently.
Should she have drilled him with questions? Gotten his opinion on all kinds of decisions that will be made years down the road?
At the end of it all, looking back, she can honestly say that she wouldn't have done anything differently. She would have loved him and taken care of him and done everything in her power to make sure he had what he needed. Which was exactly how it was.
And that is such a great comfort to Carol, that she knows without a doubt that she would not change anything about those days. Even as she struggles to figure all of this out, she knows those days were well spent, and there are no regrets.
As she continues to figure out all details of life without Dan, please continue to lift her up in prayer! She so appreciates all you do on her behalf!

We're praying for you all sister! Every day begins with prayer for each of you, and ends with prayer for each of you, with lots of prayers scattered through the day. We love you Carol, Zachary, Blake and Mitchell. Hugs abound throughout the airwaves and are headed your way.
We love you, LaGues,

Carol,
Just know that the Wichita family is praying for you and that Dan's story has already been used to minister to several in the body of Christ. It was awesome to see Zach at the Crave Conference this week worshiping the Lord with all he had!!! Love you guys, The Thomas'
Loving you today as always. Miss giving hugs. Call anytime and may the Holy Spirit grant revitalizing rest and regenerate you through your sorrows. You and the boys are so precious and Dans legacy is touching lives, even today at my workplace. Be encouraged in the Lord and His Providence.
In prayer and love, Nina and Mike
Dear Sister Carol--Your faith family at LowCountry Community Church is upholding you and your boys in prayer as you go through this new phase of your life. We pray that in your grieving you will find joy in remembering the specialness of Dan--maybe even writing down your memories for your boys in the future. We have appreciated your dedication and faithfulness in caring for Dan and your family although I am sure it was not always easy.Difficult days will come and go as grief flows over you, but those days will fade and turn into warm memories.I'm sure there will always be a "hole" in your life without Dan, but just picture him healthy, whole, and rejoicing in the presence of our precious Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He fought a good fight--never giving up--through much pain, he was a testimony to so many--as were (are) you as you cared for him and your family. May the Lord bless you richly as you walk this new path. May all things fall into place for your future. Thank you, sister, for your love and life--the LaGues will remain in a special place in my heart...Pat Calhoun
