My goodness, but you are having it rough. Thank goodness for the love

and support of your hubby.

I, too have lost some loved ones this year. My maternal grandfather

in May, my neighbor in July, two family friends in October, hubby's

aunt last month, another old friend last week; I cry every time I get

out my address book to work on my Christmas cards for family and

friends. I have so many names crossed out with crosses drawn in beside

them.

They think my paternal grandmother has had a mild stroke. She is 70,

but she looks like 50 and up until a few months ago acted like 40.

She is one of the most beautiful women I have ever seen, even at her

age. She went with me yesterday to take my son to the doctor since my

little sister is also sick and my Mother had to stay home with her.

She has become feeble and can't even put creamer in her coffee. I am

sick today myself and pretty miserable wondering how she aged so

quickly without me noticing??

I will keep praying for you and your family. Please take time to care

for yourself and rest so the stress doesn't get your body messed up.

That is hard to do, I know, especially with your daughter hurt. Do it

in small ways; a linger in a hot scented bath, candles, an extra piece

of chocolate, prayer and/or meditation . . . you get the hint LOL.

Love,

Maggie
