I didn't count on a few things happening the way they have this last month. I have every intention of having my 5 day vacation/staycation starting on March 6....but life has a way of throwing us curves...
March 6 was our 20th Wedding Anniversary and we spent that morning getting my folks and brother off to CA then we went out for lunch and got out our Glasses from our wedding and the bottle of sparkling Cider from my friend Barbara Jones at Apple Rose Cottage Apple Rose Cottage on Facebook and her blog of Apple Rose Cottage Blog and then about 4:30 pm
I got a call that my father had fallen and broken his "good" ankle, and was in the hospital...what has transpired since then has been hospitals, surgeries, nursing home, Stroke, Mom's scans and cancer status updates, visits from brother, AND working more than usual...Finding and signing legal forms, multiple doctor visits that require special transports for my dad and I attended with...at times I feel like I'm in a fog yet...I think possibly that is so much better than the massive stress I was under last summer.
So the Blessings of the Lord, prayers of friends, and a wonderful husband has gotten me through this last month without falling apart and I know I really could have if I hadn't gotten this help plus forcing me to make some decisions... say NO to people I have always said "YES" to in the past....etc.
Beautiful picture of you guys and life is full of times that we are tested and you learn who is truly there. Like you my dearest friend:-)
