"So how is retirement?" we are often asked ---- "couldn't be better will be our reply" ---- time for each other and time for family ---- and that leaves no time for self pity. Loving every minute and grateful for each new day. When given the chance we load up and are on our way. Being with family is the best that life can offer. And their sweet love and kindness in return makes each day just a bit better

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.
