I can't believe the things that are happening in my life, the people I am losing.  I know it's not about me.  I'm sounding like a cry baby.  Three years ago my husband of 38 years died unexpectedly.  Less than a month ago my mother died suddenly, and my younger sister  lost her battle with cancer.   Now, my younger brother is fighting a very serious, possibly terminal, illness.  Why does it all hit at once?  How are you supposed to keep picking yourself up, time after time, when so many people you love are suffering and dying?  I'm in need of some wisdom tonight.

I saw God today!

Npw that I am alone now I'm having lots of thoughts about it, so I went to the farm for a little distraction, plus the grass out there really needed cutting. I brought my dog Zero with me. Zero's getting old and I want him to have a good summer. Anyway Zero and I took a trip to the farm. I buzzed around cutting…See More

Losing Someone to Cancer

This is for anyone who has lost somone to cancer. I lost my adopted Mom to breast cancer some years ago. She was everything I could have asked for. She loved me because I was just me. She also loved my family and children as if they were her own.See More
