Grateful for Caretakers
I spent the day with my sister as she prepares to come to our house for a few weeks to continue recovering from her broken leg. First thing in the morning, the transport van came to take us to my sister’s doctor appointment. She was a little loopy from her pain medication, but funny. The guy […]
Strong Enough
My mom, dad, and I visited my sister in the rehab facility today. She will be discharged in a couple days and will be staying with us for a few weeks before going to her home in Denver. This will give her time to gain some strength and get some things in place at her […]
Loving Family Support
Today is my son and his wife’s wedding anniversary. I was remembering last year when they celebrated by having their marriage blessed in a church ceremony. They had their dream wedding that they were not able to have when they were first married by a justice of peace. This year was a completely different scenario. […]
An Early Phone Call
I woke at 4:00 this morning to a ringing phone. I could see it was my college age nephew who lives in the next city over. He has been taking complete responsibility of himself since his mother is in rehab with a broken leg. Of course my first thoughts were, “What happened . . . […]

Clarity and Wisdom
Last weekend, my dad started having issues with his heart. As he was monitoring his blood pressure, the pulse indicator showed an irregular heartbeat. He continued to check his pulse and it would go up to the 80’s then down to the 40’s, then back up again. My brother took him to the doctor on […]
Grateful for Support
My brother has been staying with me and my parents for a couple weeks now. He was to be the head cook, bottle washer, and overall caregiver while while I was away. He was thrown right into the midst of chaos when my sister who was here fell and broke her leg. He is a lifelong […]
Handling a Tough Challenge
My nephew just started his first college classes last week. He continues to live with his mom (my sister) as he takes courses at the community college. Only 3 days into it, his mom fell and broke her leg at my parents house while I was away. She has been in the hospital and now […]
Improvement in Craziness
Yesterday afternoon I made it back to my home state safe and sound after a wonderful trip to spend time with family and meet my new grand daughter. My sister picked me up at the airport and I called my mom from her house. The adventures there just seem to go on and on. My […]
