You know those days when you've been under so much stress and it finally gives somewhere. That is how my day has been today. I feel like I just want to let my tears go and wash all of the remainder of my stress away. But for some reason I continue to hold onto some of it. I read a friends blog and it brought the tears quickly. I guess it's because I know I'm not going through this life alone. Her problems are much different than mine. Her children are small and she is the wife of a husband that serves in his community at all hours. But yet when I read her words I feel a connection.
My girls are doing well. Maddi will be released from the hospital today and I will have her and the baby for a couple of weeks. A different kind of stress is relieved and a new type begins. I was so worried about her. They took a fragment of disc out of her back that was the size of a quarter. It had been pushing on her nerves to where she couldn't feel her leg or foot. Hopefully the damage will heal quickly. Now I hope I can give her the care that she so needs. I want to be the best mom that I can. They baby will be here and I hope that I can remember everything that I need to so that she enjoys her grandma. It's been so long.
My youngest son is getting married soon and we are working on an open house here for that. I want it to be what he desires it to be. He is marrying such as sweet, young woman. We love her already.

I love the forget me not picture. It reminds me of Elder Uchdorf's talk at Women's conference. I read it to my family again just the other day for scripture study. Life does throw us some loops. You are a wonderful Mother. I am glad Maddi made it through her surgery okay. I have always had a special spot for her. I am sure you will be a great care giver. You always have been. And grey hairs are wonderful. I have quite a few and am debating whether I should proud I have earned them and show them off, or color them over because I am vain!!! ;>
Thank you so much for your continued support. It means a lot to me. You are such an example to me and I appreciate your friendship, even if it is from a distance now. We are lucky to have to technology to help us keep in contact and be a support for each other even from such distances. We are blessed.
Congrats on the upcoming wedding, the scholarship offers and the chance to be a young mom again as a grandmother. I look back now and wonder where I got the energy when I hold anyones baby.
You, friend, are always in my prayers. Your sweet spirit lifts me up more than you know.
