Missing Birthdays
Sometimes it feels like time is zipping by so quickly. My children both have birthdays within a couple of days. It can be hard for me to believe that I have a son who has children of his own – but so it is. I miss being able to celebrate their birthdays with them since […]
Our Amazing World
My younger sister is between jobs at this time, so we have decided to spend one day a week doing something together and enjoyable. Today was a free day at the museum of nature and science, so that was our destination. It was very thought provoking as we basically made our way through time. We […]
Stunning Sunrise
I haven’t been up to see the sunrise in quite a while, but this morning I woke at just the right time. I wasn’t really sure if the sun was already up as I knew it would be a cloudy morning and it did not seem to be particularly bright. It didn’t really matter – […]
Better to be in Heaven
Tonight at dinner, the conversation with my sister and mom reminded me of a video clip I had seen from the HUMAN movie. This is a collection of videos of people telling stories of their lives. We found it on YouTube and watched a clip that started with the man saying, “The magic moment that […]
Back to the Cabin
It has been a wild summer for sure with too many medical issues happening back to back. I barely remember back to June when my parents and I were packing up to head to their cabin in the mountains for a little get away. We didn’t make it that day, and since then it has […]
Peaceful
Today was pretty uneventful. My sister is able to work from home on her computer, so after spending last week working part time, she dove back into full time this week. She was very tired yesterday, but did much better today. I puttered around the house doing things that needed to be done, cooked, and […]
A Good Day
This morning my sister got all ready and we both went to church. When we have gone out until this point, we have used her wheelchair so she doesn’t have to slowly hop her way around on crutches or the walker. But today we brought along her walker which seems to be the easiest device […]
Fall Colors
Today my sister and her husband decided they had enough working on their farm for a while and wanted to head out to enjoy the beautiful Fall season. I was glad that they asked if my other sister and I wanted to come along. The Fall color changing season is so short and the weather […]
Unexpected Cross and Love Locks
My sister who broke her leg started back to work part time this week. Luckily, she works from home most of the time, so she can remain as comfortable as possible and not worry about driving. However, she had a big meeting today in her office downtown, so we got up early to make the […]
Back At Home
After 6 weeks, it finally happened – we brought my sister to her house yesterday. Since she broke her leg and had surgery, she has been unable to put any weight on it all. So, she has been staying with my parents and I. Their house is a little easier to get around and such. […]
