When it rains, it pours

This is my Grandma holding Jackson when he was just a few months (adjusted) old in 2004.
I swear this weekend has been a weekend of prayers and holding my breath. Just after receiving the email for Geraldine, my mom called and asked me to pray for one of my brothers who is trying to stay strong and patient during a time of trial and opposition. I thought, "There sure is plenty to keep my thoughts occupied." Well, yesterday evening my mom called again and told me that my 88-year old grandmother had fallen in her home and was in need of a delicate and difficult surgery resulting from the fall. Usually, you hear of elderly women falling and breaking their hips. Not so, for Grandma. She fell, and broke her upper arm, but what's worse is that a 4-inch piece of bone broke and is "floating" in her arm. I can't even imagine that pain. Anyway, it was time to add Grandma to my prayers, and the doctors and everyone else involved. Hopefully, we'll hear some news today about her doing better. Now for the rest of you reading this, please stay healthy and strong, or I just might not be able to handle it all!

  1. It's so weird how sometimes things just pile up that are difficult to handle or think about. I hope everything will be okay.

    I need your help with Penny's costume. Do you think you could help me one of these days? It should be easy. I just have to trim her tulle skirt in layers. I don't know what I'm doing.
