Let's see.....there is so much to post. December finished off great. My birthday was fabulous and Christmas was great! We spent Christmas Eve with Tom's family in Allen then Christmas morning we went to mom & dad's, we did a simple Christmas dinner Christmas night then it was back to the normal. New Years came and I let the kids stay up late to see and hear the Fire Trucks, Ambulances, Police Cars and all of the weirdos (as Princess put it) drive down past the house. The people I work with couldn't believe our town did something so crazy! Princess couldn't believe that her mom had taken part of the craziness when I was younger, and before I met her daddy.
That's about it for the good news.
I've always believed in the power of prayer, I guess it's just how I was brought up. I may not attend church every Sunday and probably do things that some would question as being the proper Christ like thing to do, but I've always believed that when things bad were going on or you needed guidance you should PRAY, ask others to pray for you, have their friends pray for you. I've always called it a Prayer Chain. Well, I need anyone that might wonder across this little blog and especially all of the friends that I have that read this to do just that for us. Daddy went to the hospital Saturday the 3rd, his O2 level wasn't as high as it should have been and when he decides it is time to go to the hospital, it's time. Anyone that knows us knows that he has been ill for a long time, since before I graduated. I think it was around 1994 when he was diagnosed with a hereditary Emphysema now it's 14 years later and we are still blessed to have him in our lives, in our children's lives. I've always considered myself a daddy's girl growing up and still often find myself needing his approval for things I do even after being married 8 years. But somehow I'm afraid that this time is different that the other times so I'm looking for the power of prayer to help us. Pray for him to get better, to rest easier and to be able to come home soon. Even though we have had many years to know that someday the day is coming that he will be going to meet our maker the grand-kids aren't. It breaks my heart to think of what is coming and I just ask that you pray for all of us right now to ease the pain and to allow us to keep daddy for just a little bit longer.........
That's it. Just pray for daddy, for mom, us girls and all the grand-kids.....
