now it today. I'm glad our sons didn't marry young. And if they choose not to marry at all that is fine with me too. It's their choice and I'm so thankful Jack nor I made them feel less than perfect because they haven't married yet. If it is God's will then it shall be. God gave us a grandchild but for whatever reason decided it wasn't the right time for this baby to come to us. He knows what He is doing and I trust HIS will. I grieved for our grandchild but I know that he/she is at God's elbow. I am happy about that. But back to my sister........I cannot, even in my most horrific nightmare, imagine my baby sis's pain. Michael we miss you. I miss you. Your mom knows no normalcy in her life any longer. She puts on a good face most days. It is hard for her to function normally. She fakes normalcy to please others.. Thanksgiving is a day for thanks. I thank you Lord for life. And love. family.

Thanksgiving
Today was peaceful. Our sons were here with us and for that I am so thankful to God. I couldn't get out of my heart and mind though the sadness my sister must be feeling today as well as my brother and his wife. With cancer a person never knows which way is up and which way is down; or so it has seemed with my witnessing it first hand with mom and now Terry. Life is one big mystery. Anyhow, I loved having our sons here with us and couldn't help but wonder what their future would bring them as I sat and watched them sleep after dinner. When Jack and I were their age we had them and was on our way to, well, life as we know it today. I'm glad our sons didn't marry young. And if they choose not to marry at all that is fine with me too. It's their choice and I'm so thankful Jack nor I made them feel less than perfect because they haven't married yet. If it is God's will then it shall be. God gave us a grandchild but for whatever reason decided it wasn't the right time for this baby to come to us. He knows what He is doing and I trust HIS will. I grieved for our grandchild but I know that he/she is at God's elbow. I am happy about that. But back to my sister........I cannot, even in my most horrific nightmare, imagine my baby sis's pain. Michael we miss you. I miss you. Your mom knows no normalcy in her life any longer. She puts on a good face most days. It is hard for her to function normally. She fakes normalcy to please others.. Thanksgiving is a day for thanks. I thank you Lord for life. And love. family.
