Catching Up

Catching Up


First of all I want to thank all of you who have called, emailed, left messages and prayed for my Grandma. For those of you who don't know, Mr.Amazing did get to come home, and was with us for a couple weeks. I am in and out alot lately. It is hard to catch me . With six kids (yes six*) and my grandmother in the health condition she is in, it is hard to be anywhere long enough to catch me at a decent hour.

My grandma is in stable condition in Florence. She has a terminal disease with no cure, so everyday is roller coaster. We are just thankful for the time God has given us with her. I tell you, with MR.Amazing in Iraq, and my Grandma's condition, I am acutely aware of how short our time is on earth, and how precious every living moment is. I guess many people see both situations as a burden, but amazingly my life has been very blessed by all that has happened in the last year.

*We have/are taking over legal guardianship of my 17 year old cousin. the germster will be living with us and under our care for as long as he wants, or he leaves for college/out on his own. It is a long story some too personal to discuss openly as it is not my own , but suffice to say that my husband is an amazing man, decided that we would take J under our wing to care for him and give him hope for the future. Our wish is that J can redirect his life and help strengthen the foundation that his future will be built upon.
