From the lips of children and infants you have ordained Praise because of your enemies to silence the avenger. Psalms 8:2
I Love this verse because it speaks of the babbling of babies and the laughter of children that stops the enemy in his tracks.
As I was listening to my five year old granddaughter Gracie one day, I noticed that she would laugh and sing all the day long. ... -

I came home from the BHF shop yesterday to find a message on the ansaphone. I'd been invited back to the Phab club to help celebrate some friends' ruby wedding anniversary. (I'd stopped going as it clashed with a college course I had to do.) They'd arranged a fish and chip supper and it was good to see friends again. Come the end it felt as though I'd h...

So much to be learned, just by sitting quietly
Thursday, July 24, 2008
I sat with my Dad this morning waiting for his doctor to come. Still the strong soldier, still trying to make me feel better. Even in his current state, he can sense my sadness I fear and I will have to try hard to be as strong as he is. He was sort of quiet today, just sat and held his hand for awhile.
His new doctor is a younger woman, who is very gentle and caring and good at ...1 Comment -

Yesterday was not good at the NH. Everything all turned upside down, Dad fretting and anxious, A/C not working, Dad got nicked when they shaved him, food awful, refusing meds....just all turned over.

Demential is a terrible thing, to see the man I have been married to for the last 40 years turn into what can only be childlike, having to keep explaining the same thing over and over again and still he doesnt know what I am talking about, this is a man who could turn his hand to any thing, and now can not even change a light bulb, it breaks my heart.

Lost in the void of what is dead
Constantly twisting things i say
Happiness is only in pain instead

The hurt is fading
