Sick
Many Blessings
I was able to get my COVID vaccine on Friday evening. As expected, I felt awful all day Saturday. But, I figured 48 hours of feeling terrible was better than weeks. I certainly did not want to be sick for Christmas again this year. My sister was on for caring for my mom. We had […]
Good To Hear
I knew a friend of mine was going through a physically difficult time and I reached out a couple of times with no response. So, we just kept praying for her and her family. She called this afternoon and told me just how tough things have been. She had extensive back surgery, which I knew […]
Amazing Advocates
Tonight as I was making dinner, we turned on the TV and the movie, “Back to the Future” had just started. It has always been one of my favorites. We watched for a while and my mom said she knew the name Michael J. Fox, but couldn’t place him. I told her that he has […]
Viaticum
We were blessed to have the new priest from our parish come over to the house today. He was young, soft spoken, gentle, and caring. He talked with my mother for some time and asked her what she thought Heaven would be like. She said she pictured it as full of clouds with an organ […]
Grateful For Findings
When my mom got up this morning, she seemed to be more confused than normal. After talking with her and letting some time pass, the confusion lingered. I wondered what this was. Was it from a new medication? Was it low sodium – because it was checked a couple weeks ago and was running on […]
Parkinson’s Butterfly
At breakfast we asked my mom what she wanted to do on this beautiful day. She said she wanted to go to the park and see the Parkinson’s Butterfly. Last year, the daughter of a man with Parkinson’s disease created a butterfly piece of art that was auctioned off at the Rotary Club’s annual fundraiser. […]
Longer-gevity
A couple of days ago, my friend’s mom completed her cancer treatments. My friend shared a video of her ringing the bell. It was too cute. Today, I met with my prayer group. One of the men found out that he had cancer several months ago. He declined treatment as the doctors couldn’t promise him […]
Looking Good
My friend’s mom has been undergoing chemotherapy for a couple of months, but doing fairly well. She came out to dinner tonight with a group of friends. It was good to see her functioning and visiting. It was tiring for her, but she did great. I Found God today seeing my friend’s mom who is […]
Feeling Better
I had a bit of a stomach bug for a couple of days and didn’t have much energy. I was grateful to be feeling better and able to get some things accomplished today. I Found God feeling better.
Loving Relationships
My mom’s friend came over today as usual. She told us about their mutual friend who she has been visiting in a nursing home. She described how their friend has been declining and is in a bad way. Her husband died a few years ago. She is estranged from her daughter and her son who […]
