BLESSINGS

This family runs on being blessed beyond measure. It amazes me just how many people that the Lord brings to help our family. It is small things, big things even huge things, but always we have what we need and a lot of what we want. My heart is just full beyond measure really.

I think of today. Well, it actually started a few days ago when our grand daughters anounced that they were going to see Hannah Montana 3D. I guess I had secretly hoped that they would invite LisaMarie to go with them, but that was not the case. I knew that we would not have time this weekend and then it would be time for school again. Then it happened, before I could even think about it. Char, LisaMarie's mentor called to take LisaMarie to lunch today. This is not all that unusual as Char take LisaMarie several times a month to do all kinds of things. Then, when she arrived, she quietly askes me if it was okay to take LisaMarie to see Hannah Montana 3D. WOW!!!!. So without LisaMarie even knowing what was happening, they went to the movies, not only got in, but then ran into our grand daughters and got to sit with them.

I am not sure about Char, but LisaMarie had the time of her life. She was singing some of the songs all afternoon, dancing away in her room, just having the time of her life. Like I said, this family runs on blessings.

More on our blessings tomorrow......but for today...thank you Char for making our LisaMarie one very happy little girl. You take her breath away nearly every time you come to get her. No matter what you do, be it puzzles, walks with Hops, Chuck E. Chesse, or Hannah Montana 3D, you really rock her world and we thank you for that.

JUNE 30, 1978

HAPPY 30th ANNIVERSARY!!!! How does one even begin to express the joy that I feel in my heart and soul for being blessed to have been married to the most wonderful man for 30 years? The bottom line, I can't Anything I write here is a feeble attempt to try to convey what is in my heart. My cup truly runneth over. My wishes, that both of my parents were alive to see this day. My daddy came close, my mom not so. They had their doubts about Merrill and in the end they both knew that he was all that I ever really needed and in him I could really have everything I ever dreamed of. How does one really reflect over the past 30 years of life. Life in and of itself is just amazing. We all go through up and downs. We all face day to day challenges that at times we are not sure we will ride it out. Many times we lose the battles, but in the end we really win the war. We have had to say goodbye to so many people that we loved and cherished. Some of those went in a proper time frame, many of tho

JERICHO'S LIFE MATTERS

These three little words that I posted on Facebook evoked a lot of emotions. Jericho's life matters. Why did I post those words?? Reality, Jericho had emergency surgery on July 8th. As I am writing this, he is still in PICU on a vent with no end in near sight. He is one sick boy, not a little boy, but soon to be an 18 year old man. I felt that the ones who should care about Jericho, did not. I felt that the ones that should be visiting Jericho were not. Bottom line, I spoke out as a mom in pain, hurting and tired. But you know what, God is in control. A wonderful person reminded me not to let negative thoughts enter my mind. She was and is right, but still, Jericho's life matters. Jericho has Cornelia de Lange. He also has PICA. PICA is what put him here. It is the uncontrolled need to eat things that are non food items. We spend each and every day pulling things out of Jericho's mouth. Even the younger kids know to holler when they see Jericho trying to eat something. It i
