Heavy in heart again this day...
My daughter is going through difficult times. Please remember my children in your prayers. My husband could
use them also.
Megan has been so melancholy these past few weeks. Her head stays lost in the clouds and I do not know what to
do, how to help when she gets like this. For the most part everyone has handled this situation beautifully. We
are very strong as a family, strong in our faith. I am not ignorant and I know that there will be times when the struggle
will not be easy. I don't know what we would have done without Megan's help. She is so loving, thoughtful and
kind. She is one of the most beautiful people I have ever known. When she hurts it just kills me inside.
This year has been rough. We found out that she needs a hysterectomy by the time she is 29. She has also had gallbladder
surgery and it was removed this year. Megan is now in physical therapy to strengthen her muscles surrounding her cartilage
that had somehow gotten torn in her hip. So, not only has she had to deal with my health issues - she has had enough
to last a lifetime. I know that we are to be thankful in any situation we find ourselves in. It is one thing to
be dealing with your own personal issues and health and yet a whole different set of issues in watching your children have
to deal with them, too. We just keep moving forward, plodding on. Dealing with one thing after another and sometimes
several things at the same time. I have to admit this is not easy.

OK! I need to remind myself of the miracles we have been blessed with.
My sister Kelly called a while ago and asked if she could come stay with us. It was a good time and so she came
to Florida for a week. I have to say it was very good for my soul. It was also good for Megan. Kelly is
Meg's Godmother. We had so much fun while she was here. We went to the beaches... We stayed at home to catch
up on all the news. We talked and talked until our hearts didn't have anything else to say, and most of our
memories were all recalled. Kelly's timing was perfect because we had all been very homesick. She is such a kind,
thoughtful person. We all enjoyed her visit very much.
Shortly after Kelly went home my father called and came to stay. Unfortunately, I was still under the influence
of chemo and was bedridden most of the time, but we still managed to have wonderful talks and enjoyed our time together.
Hopefully the next time he comes I will be in my "good" phase.
Next week is chemotherapy already. Now that they are six weeks apart it is better for us, but somehow time still
seems to sneak up on us and "boom" there it is, time for chemo already. The up side to that is the cancer has
remained stable. I can deal with that. I am still waiting, praying that God will allow me more miracles so I can grow
old here and play with future grand babies. I want to be the best Grandmother ever!
Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify
your Father which is in heaven. Matthew
5:16
