I remembered!




My Daddy is in the hospital having problems with his heart. This really worries me because he had his first 5-valve bypass at age 42. That was 13 years ago. I worry about him because he still doesn't take care of himself the way he should. Not that I can talk... I just think this could be an ongoing problem. The doctor said it is probably a result of sleep apnea. That can't be all. I pray that the doctor's will be able to fix the problem with medication. So far, that has been the problem - he is not responding. They are not sure why he is not responding, but other than that, things look good.

This is not a good week for things to fall apart with my family. Jason and Mason have safely arrived in Honduras and I miss them more than you can imagine. Julia has kept the kids for me so I can be up at the hospital, which has been a life saver. Being alone is good for a while, but not during a family crisis - or what appears to be a crisis. I am not used to not having Jason to lean on and take strength from when things go wrong. Have I mentioned I miss him more than you can imagine? I miss his presence. I miss him sleeping next to me at night. I miss him coming home for lunch. I miss seeing his number on caller id. I miss his voice. I miss spending time together, fixing him dinner, watching the tour together. I miss his touch, his smile, the way he looks when he first gets up, the smell of his soap in the shower. I miss him.

I chose the picture because I have some peaches left over (from Mona) and I thought I would make a pie or some preserves or something yummy like that and because it makes me laugh, the picture that is. I'm in a cooking kind of mood.
