Good Morning all - Happy Valentine's Day -
Thought would talk today about the name of my Blog - I just knew in my heart that I was to start blogging and to dedicate my blog to my mom - Annie... she was the best. I miss her greatly. She went to be with the Lord 8 years ago and I still think of her every day. I wish I had spent more time with her however she was a very busy lady (81) (she never told her age..)she was gone every day of the week with her activities - and I had three (count them) three teen-agers. Problems with my oldest, our son (still remain today at the age of 30) however I found I wanted to keep things from her to protect her from worry - little did I know at the time that mom's worry no matter what. I do however see her in myself so much more everyday. She prayed! - I am so glad I had that example. It is what carrys us though life. I learned so much from Annie - she was kind, caring to others, loved her family and loved the Lord. I thank her so much for me strength and that I learned it has to be in God's time not mine. good day.....

Thank you for visiting and nice comment about my beautiful grandchildren! I have five total, those three are just in the same family. I agree that grandchildren are just the best! I think maybe part of the reason I enjoy them so much is because, knowing how children grow up - I just enjoy the time with them knowing that I don't have to be the mama. It's much more fun just to be the "grandma" and experience the love they give so readily!
I lost my Mom a year ago this month after being her caregiver for about five years. I had actually put her in a nursing home in January 2006 because I was working and saw no other way to care for her. I brought her home again in Aug 2006, quit work and she became my entire life for those last few months. She suffered from Dementia - sudden onset - and most days did not even know who I was or how I related to her. The last two weeks of her life she had such clarity and was able to visit with all of her children, her sister and others who came to see her for the last time. I miss her. She, too, was an amazing, Godly woman and I am blessed that she taught me to love the Lord as she did during her life.
Hope you'll come back and visit some time - I'll be back here.
In His Love and Blessings,
