As I awoke this morning with an ice pak on my sprained foot (story to follow) my first thoughts were of family. How blessed I am to be a mother and grandmother. I have the most beautiful family in the world! Yesterday Papa and I were getting the back yard all cleaned up from the winter. We have two children who live next door to us, Jason (3) and Gabriella (2). They came over to help us. They helped me rake leaves, put out yard ornaments, wash off the patio chairs and pick up worms off the patio and put in the flower beds. Oh, how I wish it could have been Kaleb and Jazelle or Jace and Desirae or Dallin and Landin. My heart was aching to spend the day with one of my beautiful grandchildren. I will continue to wish for someday.
As I was putting my all a dollar fake flowers in the window box on the front of the house, the step stool I was on slipped out from under me. My left foot hit the ground first and I twisted it pretty good. Since we do not have insurance right now, I have just been babying it with ice and a good limp. That was nothing though compared to the amulance ride I had last week because the doctors at the instacare thought I was having a stroke. I lost my ability to speak for about 10 minutes. It turned out to be a complex migrane that affected my speech center. This morning Papa and I awoke to find our utility room flooded by a broken pipe that goes to the air conditioner. It is drying but will need some repair before we sell the house.
Thats my news. I say enough is enough! I am still smiling. Through all these trials, my one constant is my family. I love you all so much. I miss you today more than you will know.
