joy on a sad day...

The past few weeks have been full of ups and downs for my family. In this really hard economy we are very thankful for my husband's job, but for the past month (only 5-6 months left!) he's had to relocate to Orlando to run a job there and so I am left home during the week as a single Mom. We live for Friday's now :)

In the last four weeks the daughter has gotten an ear infection twice, I managed to get sick with a sinus infection and upper respiratory infection, AND then had to get my wisdom teeth a mere 5 days later...I thank God every day for my Mother, who helped me out tremendously with Darci and with icepacks.

Now here we are at the end of another week and my Meme is in her last days here on Earth. It's hard...her mind is perfect, she knows me, she knows Chris, and Darci adores and loves her. I KNOW she'll be at peace and in absolute perfect health in Heaven, but oh how I will miss her. She is the Godliest woman I have ever known and life will never be the same.

It's days like today that I am reminded how short life is and how blessed we are to have our daughter to give us joy on sad days.




Next time you see your grandmother, hug her just a bit tighter. For me.
