Stan Julin's family has received word that Stan will soon be taken to his maker. He is, for the most part, refusing nourishment and the family has decided that a feeding tube would only prolong his life in the face of Alzheimer's and Bone Cancer.
Everything possible is being done to make him comfortable, and some success has been achieved in managing the extreme agitation that so plagued the early stages of his hospitalization. The family is considering options for moving him to the home of Seth and Marci so that his passing can be in the place that has been his home recently.
Stan has long been a stranger and a pilgrim, a citizen of the next country. The passage home long ago secured, the faithful preparations made, the lights of the great city visible upon the hill just over the river, there remains only the crossing. Make ready the feast; the good fight is fought, the race run. The pilgrim and dear son of his maker is coming home.
