The Latest

I can't seem to write more than once per week. I suppose that is better than in the past. Life is just plain crazy, but it's mostly good stuff.

Please pray for my friend Deb Harnly. I spent part of the weekend and will go back again tonight, to sit with her as her father in law passes away. This family has had waaaay too much. Her mother passed away in October. Her father nearly died last month and Grandpa Harnly is very nearly the end. Her father in law is just worn out, after a good life. He will be off to see his wife and siblings that he hasn't seen in so many years. I must be getting old myself, because I look at his death as a big celebration. You can almost see the rest on his face.

Jen Janus is about to deliver a new baby girl any day now. The girls and I went shopping for the littlest Jani, over the weekend. Becca had a blast picking stuff out. Girl stuff. I just need to find the time to get everything in a box and send it off.

Jen, I kept thinking of you as I sit with Grandpa Harnly. I kept thinking about the circle of life and how one ends and another begins. I looked at him and thought about how life starts and ends much the same. Jen is waiting to deliver. Grandpa Harnly is waiting to die. Babies are totally helpless and so is he. He is unconscious, but he had hiccups last night. Much like a newborn baby gets. I just goes to show, life goes on and you can't take a thing with you.

I know this is a bit deep, today, but life has been a bit deep this week. I wish you all good health and a very happy Valentine's Day.
