As I set here listening to Josh Groban and eating candy corn I want to convey my humblest apologies for not being around lately. Two weeks ago I had an emergency with my sister and life has not been the same since. Things have settled down a bit. I have to admit I am very disappointed in some of my family at this very difficult time yet at the same time I'm so very thankful and blessed to have church family. Some have gone many extra miles to help us. They are there for me to call when I'm driving down the road and being an emotional wreck. A dear sweet woman from church who just very recently lost her husband sent me, the caregiver, a very nice "thinking of you" card. It not only brought tears to my eyes to read, but just the mere thought that someone was actually thinking of me and took the time to let me know was heart wrenching. Especially to receive it from someone that is going through so much herself. I can honestly say that if we didn't have our church family and friends, we would be pretty much on our own.
Some things I can laugh about. Some things make me see red. For instance, I asked a family member to PLEASE make a few phone calls for me I was at the end of my rope talking to people. Their response was, "I hate doing that" and I was proud of myself for saying, "yeah well I hate putting my sister on a bedpan every day but I do it".
I look forward to being with 'my' kids tomorrow! Paperwork can wait.
