The Reason

As many of you know my Dad Helmut Neufeld is at the beginning of what could be the fight of his life (literally)!!

He has asked me to start this Blog so we can keep everyone that loves and cares for him and our family updated with his journey!

This is the reason for this Blog and I write it completely with his blessing!

    Shannon, I was saddened to hear that your Dad is facing this challenge. I had the privilege to know him during my time as a member of the RCMP in western Manitoba. He was widely known and admired as an exceptional leader, a man of integrity and strength of character, who served his country with valour. You are lucky to have him as your father!

    I was proud to have worked with him and witness how he impressively gained and enjoyed the respect of the communities he policed. Without a doubt, Helmut ranked among the very best of the best of the Mounted Police!

    Thank you for creating this blog. My prayers are with Helmut as he contends with his health circumstance. God bless you and your family, as you walk alongside him, supporting and strengthening him, as he has done for so many others.

    Shannon, I was also deeply saddened when I heard about Helmut's health situation. We (Helmut, Rosana and I) had a wonderful phone conversation at the end of March. Your Dad and I worked together in Morden for many years. He was a pleasure to work with and I could always rely on him to do the right thing. He is a wonderful human being! I

    I really appreciate your writing style and I could hear Helmut speaking those words that you placed in quotation marks. Thanks for creating this blog. I will continue to follow along as I pray for Helmut, and all of your family and close friends as treatments begin.

Palliative Care

Hello All! It is with a heavy heart that I update the blog with the news that Dad had a seizure on Saturday and he is now in Palliative Care at Minnedosa Hospital! Mom had made arrangements for Occupational Therapy to come to the house today to assess what was needed to help her care for him, but the good Lord took care of that and now he is in hospital. I know they both wanted to keep him home as long as possible…so I guess we know what the definition of “long as possible” is now! He remains very calm and is in no pain which we are very thankful for. Please keep our family in your prayers as we travel through this new journey! As Jason said to his friend on the phone this evening… “We now hurry up and wait, it’s not if, it’s when”. Love Shannon for The Neufeld Family!!

“Daddy I am Here”

So many thoughts going thru my mind as I sit here listening to Dad breathe beside me. There was no reaction when I came in his room this evening after being gone for a week, he didn’t squeeze my hand and he didn’t give me a kiss…but I am told he can hear me… “Daddy I am here”. I talk to him like I talk to Jesus while I pray. I don’t get an audible response but I continue to tell him about my week of District Governor training, I tell him I am here safely, I tell him it’s ok to go home to Heaven. I am told he can hear me… “Daddy I am here”. Mom went home when I got here, she needs to rest. It was hard for her to go but Dad knows she loves him and I know he is a peace with her taking the rest she needs. I tell him every hour how much we all love him. I am told he can hear me… “Daddy I am here”. Jason is on his way to the hospital. Says he won’t stay the night, just wants to come to see his Dad. This is so hard on all of us, but we will get thru as a family unit. Our patriarch is going be
