It has been snowing here all day
I drove to work and back in 4 wheel drive
it was quite the day
we have been through an emotional roller coaster
with lots of ups and downs
I am happy to report
that there have been more ups than downs so far this week
so far
Mom is stubborn
she is strong
and it looks like finally
that she has the will to live
you know when Dad passed
he took a big part of Mom with him
she has not been truly happy since
and it's been 11 years
we were a little afraid that she would just give up
and drift away
but that stubborn streak showed up yesterday
and I was so so happy to see it
I am also trying to take care of myself
get enough rest and relax when I can
I thank you for your emails ~ comments
thoughts and prayers
you will never know how much they mean to me
