Here they are the South Bend group! |
The home front remains pretty much the same. Terry--a tiny bit better and me--still struggling some as to how I should use my time. Not sure that is a problem but I have not been using my time well and there are many things to do so I need to get on my high horse.
After we attended the memorial for our neighbor Diane I have found myself missing family who are no longer here. My mind wanders to the farm with Mom and Dad, to Ronald who was so full of life when he died, to Janet who was the ultimate homemaker. Of course when cancer comes up, and it has in friends, I think of Gail and the suffering she went through. Then Helen, in our phone conversation recently talking about Joan's Ron who was near death. Ron has been good for a long time now but there was a time when we thought he would die. As I woke up this morning I felt I should refocus and think about positive things like siblings Joan, Helen and Dave and be thankful for Terry and of course those 12 grand children.
Aaron and Amy had a little episode with Leo this last week and I thought back to SOME of the little episodes we had with Cynthia, Aaron, Travis and John! Sometimes parenting is good for the soul and sometimes it tries the very fabric of one's being AND of course there are times when it provides material for that mountain top experience.
Enough, I have enjoyed my eggs with sausage and ripe olives, my FP coffee and it seems that writing this morning has given me a sense of where I need to go.
