Sunday of Memorial Weekend~

I made homemade bread for lunch yesterday.  We had

the kids over.  It was yummy and Kinsley loved it.

Just some random thoughts...

To know enough to know you don't like the way you feel is such a 

hard way to live.  I think about Kent's sister Stephanie and I know

that she is struggling in her state of being right now.

She knows she doesn't want to live the life that 

she is living right now and she asks god to take 

her to heaven quite often.

It has to be so difficult to know what you would rather not know.

Oh Stephie, your life is important to all of us and we know by having you

here on this earth you are teaching us great things.

I feel your pain as we just went through this with my mom and dad.

My mom lost her mind way before my dad started showing signs.

Later on through the years, we thought my dads dementia was from

caregiver burnout, little did we know that his memory loss

was also caused from vascular dementia.  

We love you Steph and know that your feelings are valid and god will

take you when he needs you, but for now, continue to teach us all

patience and love.

We had Drew, Hannah and Kinsley over for lunch yesterday.

We made ribs, pork chops, brats, potatoes and Hannah

made brownies.

It is always so nice to have the kids here.

They stayed for a few hours while kinsley took her nap.

Today on this Memorial day, they will play golf with Kent.

We hope to take Sunny on a walk and who knows what else we have planned.

Had a nice chat with Kristin on the phone last night.  She is worried

about Kathryn.  She needs a glucose test and doesn't want to take time from

work to get it done so she is trying to go today.

Kathryn's pregnancy has been a tough one.  I pray she and the baby will

do fine up to the end and through delivery.

Hang in there Kathryn.  You can do this.
