Bitter Sweet Sunday…Taking the good with the sad..
Today was a little better. I picked Mom up about 9:30 and took her to church. She had lost her hearing aids and glasses at Sunrise Creek and it took us a while to find them. The staff there told me that she kept saying that she was looking for heaven and so she didn’t […]
Keep em coming…
Your prayers are surely the only thing that is keeping me afloat. I have never leaned so heavily on my faith in God as I am, today. Mom is better than last week. At least she’s not seeing the devil around every corner. But, her faith is greatly shaken and she is having such a […]
It was a day, for sure…
It was a day…a kind of drippy, dreary day. I kept thinking of Mom, walking in the rain and the wind and the thunder on Sunday, all alone and confused, until someone found her. She needs to be someplace safe… Mom is settled into Sunrise Creek’s memory unit and at least I feel that I […]
Surely God will get me through all of this
Well, I’m recuperating from my leg vein surgery, fine. I was feeling pretty rough the first couple of days. I had some sort of reaction to something that they gave me. It made me swell up like a puffy-faced balloon and wheeze like a squeaky dog toy. I was already feeling depressed and I’m afraid […]
Our third night at Crossroads
Emily, Bill’s daughter, my niece and Grandma’s grand daughter has been here for the past couple of nights. It’s been wonderful having her here. She unfortunately leaves tomorrow. We’ve loved getting to know her and sharing this experience with her. She’s a loving and perceptive young woman with a big heart. She is beautiful, inside […]
A better Sunday in September
Hi, I couldn’t leave you with the disturbing thoughts of the past couple of days without some follow up. These new changes are very hard to consider and face. But, as always God’s grace will see us through. And I’m learning from people who know about these things that there is a possibility…even a probability […]
Saturday in September
A very long day…Mom decided that she’d like to go to Cross Roads Assisted Living, earlier than her planned visit on Thursday when I have to have some surgery on the veins in my legs. But, of course, because it’s a holiday weekend and we didn’t make arrangements earlier, we will have to get by […]
OK, let’s talk
Hi, I’ve been so silent that I can hardly believe that you’re still checking in to see what I have to say. I’d like to say that life has been so full, so filled with joy and success, that I haven’t had the time to let you know how things are going. The fact is […]
Bitter-Sweet Friday evening
I just tucked Mom into bed. Such a sweet sweet loving moment in our lives. The girls sat at her feet and we thanked God for all of bounties that he has given us. We truly believe that there isn’t a happier family……a family with more love……more laughter…….more kindness shared…..What peaceful comfort to everyone. I […]
It’s been too long….we’re hanging in there…..
Hi Everyone. I’m sorry that I haven’t done well at keeping you posted. We’ve had lots of ups and downs and I’ve had difficulty putting it into words. Mom’s blood pressure has been faltering and when it gets low, it’s so terribly hard for her to think straight. We really haven’t had to deal with […]
