Life

It has been awhile since I've blogged. Also a new year it has been busy AC is now a year older. Soon BD, and BP will also be a year old. They are all headed onto adulthood with lots of gusto and enthusiasm . Sometimes more then I am ready to take. AB will soon have a new puppy to play with. We are adopting a male aussie pup, for BP as a project he is so excited to have a dog of his own. Both AC, and BD have had dogs. SC lately has been following me around meowing loudly until I settle and she can sit on my lap and be petted. I have never seen such a needy, demanding cat.

Today I read a blog from a mom who said goodbye to her four year old son, he died of lung cancer. It was one of the hardest thing to read. Memories of BD in the hospital after his head injury and Dr. telling us he may not live came pouring back. Thank God Dr. don't always know how resilient the humane brain is. The next week the statement was " He will never walk or talk. Do you want information on a nursing home?" What do you answer to that? My response "HELL NO! He will come home and walk and talk!" The Dr. all shook thier heads, this lady is in denial and won't face the truth. No I knew what a fighter BD is. Three month's later (after rehab) on Thanksgiving day BD came home sat at the table and ate turkey, gravy, mashed potatoes, and pumpkin pie. None of it blended to a soft texture. He walked to the table!. And when HSSH asked" BD do you want that blended?" BD responded "DAD YUCK!!!" The pain of facing a child's death is one of the hardest realities to face. This family was able to say good bye and reassure him that they would be okay. Is helpful but still painful and hard. My prayers are with this family and many others for the hard good bye's.

May all be well with you and yours this year!
