ALL IS CALM, ALL IS BRIGHT!….. UMMM YEA!

we stayed at luke and tams the other night and went to church with them the next morning, this is the picture we pulled into, it was like a post card and we needed a well needed rest with our kids:) thank you luke and tam

we have had a few get togethers here, with people from church, and we got to visit with the rockhills

here we are with kade rockhill, eliza’s cousin, i wish so much shel and james and eliza were here, this is going to be hard, i’m tired of crying… I MISS THEM, IS ALL I CAN SAY!!!

here is a pic of my mom, with her butcher knife that is over 50 years old, oh if this knife could talk! the meals that it has helped to prepare!….she loved her knife, when we broke up her household, erik was the one that got the knife, well she missed it, even though it would be quite dangerous for her to use it now, he brought it back for her, cause she wouldn’t stop talking about it!!! she kept asking everybody what happened to her knife….look how thin, the blade is, from being sharpened so many times…

i was up at stephs yesterday, forgot my machine, so didn’t sleep well, woke up at 4 with a sore throat, drank a half a pot of coffee before 6 in the morning, mom got up, and while i was in the bathroom with her, rubbing her back, while she pukes…sorry for the details….. she looks up at me and says “oh verna, living is hard, but this dying thing is a lot harder” yeah i held it in, til once again i make the trip down I-65 bawling my eyes out, pull over to get a grip…..watching her die is pretty hard too!

i get home and i know i look terrible in this pic, from crying so much…. but peace at last……….. enola fell asleep on me, while we cuddled and rest came

so thankful, i have some of my grandbabies, here with me to hold and love
