OMG
At 3:10pm this afternoon, Richard had just left with the car,
when the phone rang, it was my daughter in law Tina,
James my son's wife.
She was crying, saying that there was an accident.
I asked her immediately, not Richard since he had just left.
My son lives on the top of the next hill, here not far from my home.

Anyways, she proceeded...

My Mom was brought to the hospital
by ambulance
this morning, after falling face first,
down the steps of the garage.
Her face has 8 fractures,
her 2 eyes are closed, with major black eye,
broken nose,
fractured sturnum.
I was told to brace myself,
before going into her hospital room.
Even with the warning, I exploded into tears.
You can't tell it's my mom.
She even as a hard time to talk,

I almost died today,
I won't go into the details, this is the first I get to write something on the computer.
Richard wanted to bring me to the hospital,
but having an idea of what I did wrote,
I decided to treat the several issues that was making me soo sick.
I tell you guys, I was sure I was dying, and it lasted all day.
I am still very weak and in pain, but much better than earlier in the day.

The Doctors had put young Fabien in a induce coma,
in order for the surgery to heal right,
without the movement of a 2 year old child.
Two days post surgery,
his little fingers were getting black.
So yesterday, they removed the arm, poor baby.
The parents, grand parents, are devastated at this time.
The parents are staying with him, until he gets out of the intensive care unit,
well the father at least...3 Recommendations22 Comments -
I had extensive work done on my car 2 months ago by a friend of my sister. He has a maintenance garage. One of the things he claimed to have changed was the timing belt and water pump. Yesterday my car quit next to a garage so I coasted in and they looked at it today and the bad news is it has a broken timing belt and needs a new water pump. The mechanic tells me they are the originals and have n...1 Recommendation18 Comments

I am sorry. I tend to think with my heart, overriding what my head is telling me. I need to learn how to listen better to what God is shouting out to me.
To those of you at Daily Strength, who I have wronged, I pray you will forgive me. And to those I have upset
with my greatest blunder yet here, I am so sorry as well.
Love to all,

Here I go again. I am once again running a temp, and have a sore throat and tons of body aches and pains. The blessing is, is it does not seem to be settling in my lungs. (As we all know, that is our weakest point) I am feeling pretty rotten. Have pretty much slept since the afternoon of the wedding. WHICH...was wonderful. The groom cried and laughed, (cus he was embarrassed for crying) He is an ...1 Recommendation14 Comments
