You Are That Special
I went to prayer group tonight and we got on the topic of the universe and creation. Specifically, how amazing it is when you see photos of the universe and the little tiny space that our Earth takes up. When you then think about each person on our planet, we are quite minute indeed. I […]
Incredibly Grateful
As I have been sharing my mom’s birthday celebration with others and reflecting on the past few days, I find myself incredibly grateful. First and foremost, I am grateful that my mom was here this year to celebrate. When she entered into Hospice Care several months ago, I honestly didn’t think she would be. I […]

Today my mom’s friend came over for a happy birthday visit. They hadn’t seen each other in weeks. Our friend took a fall a while back and fractured her hip. She had surgery and got right into home therapy. Thankfully it was not a bad break. She is a tough woman, so I wasn’t too […]

Brothers Arrived
In anticipation of my mother’s birthday, both my brothers have arrived in town. One came to the house this evening. It was good to see him. My mom was a little surprised. Then she didn’t think she should go to bed because he was here. We assured her she would see him tomorrow. We are […]
