Pie

Brad left for his meetings and I stayed in bed an extra hour. Maybe all day but Dennis and Sharron picked me up at 10:30. Visited and had lunch. Brad came about two. We drove to his sisters and they drove us to a very very small town named Veyo for a piece of the famous pie. Way small down, hood pie.

A Blessing for Glenda

Last evening I received this text from Glenda. "Just given blessing by stake pres. He blessed my body with the miracle of healing that will astound medical experts". Faith and hope are always with us.

Travelers

Yesterday Brad and I traveled to St. George for his annual water meetings. We are staying at the St. George Inn and Suites. The weather is nice but the extra cold winter weather has taken a great toll on the palms and landscape. Yesterday Jeffrey Dale flew out of the Salt Lake City airport for Brussells, Belguim. He will be spending nine days their for his company Proctor and Gamble.

Just an old saying

Remember the saying "damned if you do and damned if you don't". Well I think maybe that is my old age motto. I can't seem to do or say anything right. Funny how dumb you get "again" in old age. Not good for much and too much bother for many. I think I am understanding my mom quite a bit better now. Often she would call with tears in her voice because she was just old and of no use. But, we still have much to give and much to be thankful for. Perhaps in the end a life equals all out and gains it's value Today Brad and I spent some time at the Nesbit home. The last chemo treatment has been a very hard one on Glenda even though it was only a half a dose. The nausea has been bad. Today she has even in bed. Tried getting up but just too weak and sick. Grandpa helped dig out the old mailbox holder with the neighbor Brother May today. They had a nice visit and found out that his wife went to school with Brad. Small world. We did the Monday cleaning of bathrooms and kitchen. They have such a great ward and the fridge us overwhelmed with food. Glenda doesn't eat much so Dan has a lot to get through. Today Conner had a PET scan to see if the swollen lymph nodes are cancerous. Will be glad to get results and know that he will be given proper medical care. I am suppose to be getting ready to go to St. George but, oh how I just want to stay home. But I was unable to go with Brad last year so I know I must be with him this year. He is always there for me so I need to get my act together and be there for him. However, he is getting tired of thus yearly trip and the convention.

Faith and Family

This past week has been an unusually emotional week for me. Seems like the tears are unending. How grateful I am for my sweetheart Brad. He is so sensitive to feelings at this time. I think that having family trouble is perhaps my undoing. I can still feel that horrible pain that I had at Dales passing. It was a feeling I never wanted to feel again. This week that pain has been very evident to me and thus my emotions are all over the place. I have failed some of my family and do not know if it can be repaired. Losing family is the worst. But, great beautiful times have also been mine. The time I am blessed to share with Glenda is priceless. Sharing sweet memories, talking about her desires and being present in her home brings me so much joy and peace. On Friday Brad and I took her for her third chemo session this time. It is always hard on her but she handles it with such dignity. She decided that she would not have a port way back with her first session of chemo. So each time the must try and find a good vein. With all her injections she must feel like a pin cushion.

A year in review

The last fourteen months have been filled with happy and sad times. I will put down the IPad and try to get to my desktop and add the year to the best of my memory. Which might not be the greatest. Trip to Phoenix with Sharron and Dennis Severe infection put me down. Did not go to St. George with Brad for water meetings Bad kegs leads to my release from the Brigham City Temple Glenda's health is not the best. When we talk she says she feels so very tired Glenda has ovarian cancer Sid has surgery to hook him back together Shaylee and Cassidy are married Kelsey and Dusty purchase new home Ryan and Jordi purchase home Danny has a new job.
