  • HOME AT LAST!

    “Death's power is limited.It cannot eradicate memories or slay love. It cannot destroy even a threadbare faith or permanently hobble the smallest hope in God. It cannot permeate the soul and it cannot cripple the spirit…

  • GRAY DAY BLOOMS

    It has been cold and gray for the past few days. Sort of matches my mood; I'm not sure if I'm depressed or just have the lazyitis. The excitement of my son's visit is past and time with Moma is hard. I spent most of yest…

  • LET'S MAKE IT FUN!

    Yesterday I hit the floor running so to speak. One of my many errands of the day included getting Moma to the doctor's office. She called me while I was drying my hair to tell me she just wasn't going to be able to go. (…

  • MAKING MOMA MEMORIES

    Sunday afternoon while hubby was helping a fellow church member with a plumbing problem, I resisted the urge for a nap and went to see Moma. It continues to amaze me how as her body weakens, her temperament just gets swe…

  • USELESS GADGETS

    Moma has had a pretty good week so far. Her right shoulder and arm is stoving up on her so we have to get therapy to work with her on that, but otherwise she seems to be doing better than in months. The only problem I've…

  • UPS & DOWNS WITH MOMA

    Moma is not doing so well any more. Once the steroid shot wore off she was no longer on top of the world. She is some better, but nowhere near good enough to go to church. The doctor changed up her meds again trying to g…

  • NEEDING PRAYER

    Please take a few minutes and pray for my Moma and me today. Even though her cough and vitals are gradually improving, she insists that she is getting worse and wants to go to the hospital. I'm beginning to wonder if she…
