Celebrating 18
Yesterday was my nephew’s 18th birthday. We were unable to celebrate it together because of the distance and the fact that he had his day all planned out. I sent him a text message first thing in the morning. Then my mom, dad, and I called and sang Happy Birthday to him. He was out […]
Tour of the House
A few weeks back, my son purchased his first home. It needed to have some work done before he moved his family in, so he worked hard on it along with others including my other son who will be staying with him for the summer. Within a few days they got everyone and everything moved […]
Corpus Christi
I was so happy to wake from a sound sleep this morning and feeling better. Both my mom and dad did some heavy napping today and things are getting back to our “normal”. We did not make it to church in the morning and as I was reading the local Catholic newspaper, I realized it […]
Selfless Sister
I guess I was more stressed than I realized with everything that has happened the past couple of days as I woke up early this morning with a splitting headache. I could feel the stress working up and did what I could to reduce the toll it was taking on my body, but evidently it […]
Home To Recover
My dad had a very difficult night last night. He had a bad reaction to one of the medications and was seeing and hearing things all night long. He was still pretty distraught when my mom and I got there this morning and his blood pressure was way up. It was a rocky morning for […]
God Is There Too
Well, they did many different tests on my dad today and they all came out normal. Like everything, this is good and bad. Good that there is nothing that jumps out as going horribly wrong. Bad that we don’t really have an answer as to what IS going on. They are working on adjusting his […]
Better and Not
We had made plans to go and stay in the mountain cabin for a few days, but yesterday my mom wasn’t feeling well so we postponed the visit until after she could see the doctor. She has a history of stomach problems and was afraid it was acting up again. Her appointment was bright and […]
An Amazing Memory
My mother has an amazing memory that seems to be more and more clear as she continues on an upward swing. We always laugh about how she would probably remember all the details of any event from any number of years ago, but at the same time she can forget why she walked into a room. […]
To Know Someone
This morning my parents and I were talking about sleeping habits. My mother said when she was younger, she used to sleep with the radio on classical music all night long. When she was about to get married, she wondered how that was going to work out. She decided that she wouldn’t be able to […]
The Old Cowboy Hat
Yesterday my parents and I headed on up to their cabin in the mountains for a couple of days. It had been quite a while since they were able to spend time up there other than a quick trip to make sure everything was still working properly. We were looking through things and I found […]
