SUnday....... SUPPORT/STRENGTH - NEEDED
I am keeping your family in my prayers. It is a difficult time for you, and, my family are thinking about you. Please remember to take care of yourself too. Your son, and husband need you as much as you need them right now.
Big hugs, warm thoughts, and many prayers for you.
S.
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.
--Reinhold Niebuhr
If there is anything that I can do, please Linda ask, we are family and are there for each other.

My heart is heavy today. So many people are suffering -pain,death/ sorrow, indecision, trouble, who can help us in our times of need?Only God-He is our source of strength. I didn't post yesturday,so I missed everything about Linda's accident & Lois stomach issues. Linda- my heart is breaking for you. Please know that my prayers are with you,Mike & Mikey. Lois, I pray they find out what is going on & you can feel better quick!Both of you are like my little Sisters, know my family is holding you up in thought & prayer-here is part of my favorite Psalms-. "my flesh & my heart may fail, but the Lord is the strength of my heart & my portion forever".Psalm 73-23-26
I spent most of the day yesturday at my SIL Karen. Dana took Kenny out for awhile to go to Lowes with him, so we could talk. They sent her home Sat. with oxygen, and comfort measures. The nurse who first gave Karen chemo said that is wasn't working anymore & there was nothing more they could do. My BIl Kenny is in denial & shock. He messed up & turned down the oxygen Fri. nite, where she was gasping for air & wouldn't give her her pain meds. for fear she "didn't need them/would get hooked on them."The dosage is so low that wouldn't happen anyway. The nurse came that took care of her at first at the hospital and saw that it had been turned down ,& told him to leave it on 4. I was able to get her up & help her get a sponge bath & eat alittle bit. Hospice is coming in Monday to see her/them.She has asked that I be there, since I went thru Hospice with both my folks & their Grandma. I am going to cancel my appt.with the Dietician , & be there.
Tracy, Kim & Shanna, I am pm. you- sorry, no lunch tomorrow- I just need to be with my SIl. & I know you all understand.
Everyone, peace & blessings to day. You all are a blessing in my life.
Love,
Ellen

Never allow someone to be your Priority while allowing yourself to be their Option......

Ive got alot to do today but wanted to let Linda and Terry know im thinking about them.
Two of our sisters are hurting .
I cant begin to imagine what you are going thru and i wish i could be there with you ,you and your husband have done a great thing with the donations and thru the people Maggie helped she will live on.
I can talk anytime if you need someone to talk to .
My prayers and love go out to you and your family.
I think sometimes in todays world we get some wrapped up in things that we forget we are not promised tomorrow so love each other now while we can.
I have apicture that hangs over my bed of two beautiful little girls with angel wings picking flowers and i thought of Lindas babies laughing and holding hands.Linda the picture is yours if you would like to have it.
Huggs to you and everyone have a great day and stay safe.
