Make sure my family knows I love them

Compliment my wife more and ask her how her day went
Take my kids skating. Just us three
Make sure I actively listen to my kids when they talk to me
Use Friday evenings to spend more time with my family
Find ways to hollar at my kids less

Well, after reading my last entry I have to say. His grandma did not make it. It was about 24 hours later she died.
The sad thing is that this wonderful woman dying has had a huge impact on my life and my husbands life.

This woman was a angel, a saint, a godsent to many many people. Funny how a death in a family can change things and people.

I miss her greatly and because of her I tell make sure my family knows I love them and would do anything for them.

She showed her love,compassion,loyalty, and most of all her spririt to everyone she was around.

I just hope that all her family knows that she loved them.

Well, alot has happen…in such a short time. My grandpa died May 23rd. It was a rough time for the whole family. He was such a great man. He did so much for alot of people. He was a minister for 54 years. He had a wonderful dedication to family, friends, and most of all to god.
So, that was rough and still is. Then last weekend my step dad has an accident and cuts three of this fingers witha saw. He is going to be fine. But, that just stressed my mom out even more. It gets even better. The very next day…my sister has a miscarriage. Almost exactly a year from the twins she miscarried last year this time. Needless, to say that just blew our whole family away. It just seems to be piling on. My sister was 20 weeks along. She was going to find out what she was having today. She had a girl…it is so sad. I want to say it will be alright to her. But, I don’t even know that anymore. It is so hard to see her so broken down.
So..I go to see her at the hospital. She and her husband need a little time to by themselves. So, i go out to the waiting room to wait with the rest of the family that has came to check on my sister. My phone rings. It is my husband. He says that that they have taken his grandma to the hospital. Needless to say..I totally lost it. I just couldn’t believe that this was happening. So..pull myself together to go be with him and his family.
His grandma has been in a nursing home for about six or seven years. Fairly healthy till this past couple of months. She is very ill now and there is not much they can do for her. So..they are moving her to hospice today. She is 90 years old. She is a wonderful woman. She is so sweet.

I just don’t know what else to do. I am a strong person. I have dealt with death many many times in my life. Actually more than I think most people. I just think that this is just getting a little bit to much.

All in all….I still have to let my family know i love them because you don’t know what is going to happen. This last few weeks is a perfect example of that.

Well, lately my family has been going through a rough patch. My grandfather has been very sick lately. He seems to be the one that holds this family together the most. He has always been very strong. I hate seeing him this way. He has lived a long full life but, for him to be in the shape he is in is terrible for all of us to see. More than ever our family need to stay strong for him and each other. I know that his condition brings fear into all of our hearts and minds. So..making sure my family knows I love them is very very important right now.
