Understanding
I was talking with a friend today about jobs. She said she goes to her office, does her work, and then goes home. She said that I am not able to do that in the job I have in caring for my parents. She went on to completely relate to my situation. It was an […]
Act Locally
The reflection of today from Dynamic Catholic seemed especially fitting for election day. It read, “Act locally. Whatever change you desire for the world, create that change in your own life.” No matter what the results of the election are, there are so many issues that people collectively agree on. There is a lot of […]
Blessing of Family
Tonight I went to a Bible class. We just started reading the book of Exodus. One statement that really stood out to me was that God blesses people with family. In Chapter 1 of Exodus, it describes how the Pharaoh wanted to dwindle the numbers of the Israelites. He commanded the midwives to kill all […]
Helping Nana
Today my son, his wife and kids, and his wife’s sisters and families made their way to my daughter in laws’ mothers’ house. They all went to help “Nana”. They shared pictures of everyone raking and cleaning up the yard. I just thought it was so nice how they all pitched in to help her […]
Palm Tree
Sadly, a friend of my sister passed away a few days ago. She said he was an amazing man who touched many lives and will be very missed. She went to the memorial service last night and told me about it today. Near the end of his life, the man told his sister that he […]
Four Years
Today a picture popped up that I shared 4 years ago. It was of me, my parents, my friend who drove here with me, and my dog. It is hard to believe it has been 4 years since I moved here. I still miss my dog who lived only a few months after we arrived. […]
Timely Prayer
My mom is still struggling with sciatica pain, so instead of going to All Saints Day Mass, we decided to watch it on EWTN. As soon as we turned on the TV, a prayer came on for those with Parkinson’s Disease. We said the prayer and were teary eyed at the end. I Found God […]
Piano Cassette
As my mom was resting yesterday, my dad found some small portable cassette players and got them working. He found some tapes to play and one of them was a recording of my mom playing the piano about 30 years ago. That is when she says she was at her best. My dad got the […]
Answers From Docs
My poor mom has still been in a lot of pain. I called and left messages with 2 of her doctors and the physical therapist this morning. I had some questions and was looking for more help to try to alleviate some of her suffering. One at a time, they each called back and each […]
Comfortable Seat
The day we returned from the cabin, my mom’s back, hip, and leg started hurting. She has been in a great deal of pain, so we went to see her doctor today. He feels it is a pinched nerve and took some x-rays to check further. Tonight after dinner, she was able to make her […]
