Car of the day:
I like this...... And it's possibilities.... ;)
So for today:
We received a call this morning that
a very old and good friend just passed away. She and her husband had been our friends
from church and the past for many many years. He passed away a few years ago. I sorta envied his career. He had been a cameraman for a large TV station.
They were RV’ers also. We had
hoped we could arrange to travel with them, but it never happened. We enjoyed talking about places
we had visited.
Their travels were brought to a halt by the problems of a son. The son had moved ‘back home’ with them, they
did not feel safe about their home, leaving him there.
The situation never improved, sadly
they sold their motor home and settled to their fate, It is a shame that in the fall and winter of
one’s life, when problems should only be doctor’s appts, that hearts are broken
also.
It would be good if somehow in families that we could let others live their lives and we live ours, no matter the fate, . BUT, but as a general rule that is not possible. I think I have seen that, but until I have been inside someone’s head I will never know, if that is a possibility.
I read the question in a blog lately, “When do I quit worrying about my son or daughter?” I think the answer as a rule, is NEVER! …… Fair?
Not really, but there you have it in real life, “Life isn’t always fair!”
We swing at the pitches that life
throws, many times the ball is fouled or we strike out. Seldom do we hit a
homerun, but when we do, we all enjoy it.
It is hard with life to say, as with a ball team, just wait until next
year! We will WIN!
BUT we get up, and when asked by
friends and strangers “How are you today?”
We smile and say, “Great and hope you are!”
Is that lie a sin? Nah, I don’t think so. No need to add to someone’s load. ;)
I
am going to smile at life today, get up to the plate and expect a homerun!

Please accept our sincere condolences on the death of your friend. R.I.P.
Do we ever stop worrying about our children? The answer is definitely NO. But here's a thing that I find works. Hand over you children to God. Thank Him for the gift of children, and hand them back to His care. You do what you can for them here on earth, and God will take care of the rest.
God bless always; you and yours.
I'm sorry to heart your hearts are burdened again -- first, by the passing of an old friend; then the reality that calendar pages keep on turning. Almost as if to say, our problems matter not. I'm not sure if that's reassuring or not.
I've a dear friend whose 49 y/o son just 'moved back home.' At least, he's found a safe place to land; I hope your friend's son and his mother reconciled before her passing.
I'm so sorry about the loss of your dear friend. Life is hard and as we age the reality is we go to more funerals than weddings. But life still can hand us joy if we keep an attitude of gratitude and enjoy each moment. When do we stop worrying about kids? Yep, never is the answer. However, when they make our lives hell it's time for some tough love. Our youngest moved back with us after he was transferred back here with his job. He would like to buy a house but the market is not great right now. However, he's financially stable, a very hard worker, a big help around here and so far all's good! He even pays rent. So I'm thankful for that! One of these days I'm sure he'll find a place of his own...maybe, Ha! Hugs to you and Sherry and hope all is good with you both.
Oh I hate to hear you lost another friend.
Yep, always worrying about my child. The way things are going now days, looks like Im gonna have to agree with YaYa and ad some “tough love” . We have been losing a lot of sleep lately.
Hanging in there,
Lisa
