6 Years

I was going to post last Sunday evening, but got too busy doing other things. It is amazing to think that it has been 6 years, last Sunday since Willie & I made it to Colorado to live here. Dennis followed 3 weeks later. The years have flown...................so many changes. In the last 6 years I have lost my father, my husband and my mother. It has been a learning process and a painful process. I miss each of them very much. But I also put my trust in God as he guides and directs me daily. I pray that I stay in His will, listening to Him.

As far as other news, we are set for an auction at my parents home & at my Dad's Ford dealership on August 16th. As we (my siblings & I) have worked through all of these items this summer my stress level has fallen. I know once I make it through one more week, my stress level will have gone down a lot more. I have one rental house sold. There are people interested in my parents home and potentially one more rental. It has been hard to deal with all the stress over the past 4 1/2 years and there is still some hanging around...........but it is becoming so much better. I feel there is truly light at the end of the tunnel somewhere soon down the road!!!

Sunday's

I think Sunday's are the worst. I miss seeing Dennis up on stage singing with the praise team. Sometimes it's hard to even sing. Sunday was a special day in our home, the one day that was different than the rest of the week.

This time of the year has so many memories anyway and most of them are related to grieving. My daughter was born at 28 weeks back in 1980 on Nov. 24th, a Monday (just like this year). She was very ill and this was before many of the new medications for premature babies. She died Dec. 2nd. My first husband had a bone marrow transplant in 1987. He was admitted to the hospital on June 16th and died December 25th without ever leaving the hospital. My father died unexpectedly the Saturday after Thanksgiving 3 years ago. Now Dennis is gone also, and at the same time of the year. But still Sunday's are the hardest and when I miss him the most as far as days of the week.

In the meantime I have managed to get all my Christmas cards done. I have bought all the presents and mailed them off. I'm planning on a small Christmas get together here on Christmas day with a larger one on the 28th when my brother & his wife are here.

The alpaca seem to be doing well & enjoying the cold weather (unlike me).

I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and most of all show love to your loved ones & let them know how much you love each one of them. Remember Christ, He loves us each one. I praise God for His love & guidance shown to me not only all through my life but especially the past 5 weeks. Praise His Name.
