It can be a tough one. I find myself missing, and thinking of my Daddy. He was a Lieutenant, in World War II, and he and was dressed in his Miltary Whites, when he married my Mother.




Hope you can spend some quality time, with your families.

Hi Sky,

I haven't done much today. We had a cook out on Saturday so today I decided to do laundry.

I did have a good thing happen. I was looking through the bible to find something and came across a letter that Bill wrote me the day after my birthday in 2001. I won't repeat everything he said but in it he told me that I have been the most importan woman in his life since the day he met me. He said he didn't know how many days and years we had left but he'd cherish the ones that we've had together. He thanked me for our four wonderful children . he ended by saying that if he deserved it he would see Stephen up There.

This is only the second letter he ever wrote me. The first on was when we were dating. I still have that one, too.

Do you think he knew even in 2001 what was going to happen?

Finding this letter was like having him here for the short time it took me to read it.

Oh, Joycie! YES! That is such a precious find, & gift, and in your Bible? I have to think, a gift from God? And, yes, he could have known. I wrote Mom's Nurse (Eva) an E-Mail, telling her, that I thought that God had guided me, to that dirty old box, and I found those precious old photos,\(300!) and felt pressed, to send them to my Sister. Now we are not only speaking, but discussing Mother's Healthcare, which is "SO" important! Eva sent me back this E-Mail. And of course, we have always said, she was literally, Heaven-Sent!

I know Nancy he is always myterious and that is the beauty of God . He is just awesome and that is why I love him so much and I always depend on him. I am very blessed to all the patients that he wants me to take.

Thank you,
Eva

I'm not sure if you know this, but Eva lives in "Morgan Hill" It is an 85 mile drive EVERY-SINGLE-DAY, to give my Mother a single Insulin Injection, and fill her Med-Box, and check her skin, & feet, and her Blood Pressure, and Tom's too. She does not charge us for gas, or driving time, which is an hour, each way???? Can you see why I LOVE her, so????

Any one who will make a drive like that has got to be a gift from God.

You are really lucky to have her.

I'm glad you and your sister are talking. I don't know how I'd get along without my family being there for me.

It's tough. She is there visiting Mom right now, and we may even be able to talk, while she is there. I want her to set up Mom & Tom's Converter Box. I did while I was there, (I bought it, and hooked it up) but they haven't been using it! They think it works great (just watching their old set? ) but I hope they can comprehend, the two remote dealio? I am thinking of canceling all the channels, except for channel "3" so they don't change it, by accident? I also ask my Sister to try to find a new Bridge Group, for Mom. She got fired from her Duplicate game, and I know she misses it.

She is going to take her to a couple of Doctor Appontments, too!

I know your family has got to help. Your Daughter, and Grand Children, & your Sister. I am happy you have them.
