It has been quite a while since I posted. The last several months have been filled with unexpected events, and I feel at peace to share some of them with you.
My precious Mother passed away on August 1. She had not been feeling well for at least two years, but her passing was a shock to all of us. My parents had been married 57 years and were sweethearts in high school. Daddy misses Mama, and he continues to grieve for her. My brother, sister and I try to fill the void in Daddy's life. We are enjoying spending extra time with him.
Shortly after Mama went home to Heaven, my sister's father-in-law had a heart attack while working at his ranch. He did not survive. His sudden passing was especially hard on my brother-in-law. Father and son worked side by side every day on their ranch.
The day before Thanksgiving, we had funeral services for my aunt. She had been diagnosed with a rare brain tumor about the time we lost Mama. Because of her age and the location of the tumor, the doctors could not operate. Losing three family members in the space of four months was devastating. It is a heavy reminder of how fragile life can be.
I have returned to life coaching for Hearts of Love. Helping others who are hurting is the best medicine for my heart. Also, I have dedicated myself to a fitness program under the direction of Frank Poff. The exercise is challenging and exhaustive, but I have more energy than I have had in years!
