When life gives you a hundred reasons to cry, show life that you have a thousand reasons to smile!

It is with so many emotions I write this next blog.  So many wonderful things are happening in life right now, yet there are some terrible too.  I'll start by saying one thing: Love.  Love like there is no tomorrow because we are not promised another day on this earth.  Life is made up of so many wonderful things, if we just allow it to happen.  Life is meant to be enjoyed, don't let it pass you by.

For those who don't know, the kids and I traveled to MI over the Easter holiday.  This trip was planned merely because My Grandma (Aunt Jackie/ Gee Gee to some) and my mom have recently had some major health problems.  While my mom is doing 90 % better after her stroke, My grandma is not.  This week we called in Hospice for her.  She has had chronic conditions that have left her very weak along with signs of Alzheimers.  It is with a heavy heart I write that my last trip to MI, may have been my last with my beautiful Grandmother whom I love so dearly.  Our family has been truly blessed by having this woman in our lives and I ask that you pray for her and my my family at this time.

We Love you a Bushel and a Peck, and a hug around the neck Gee Gee! :-)

Let's not count her out yet! Her great-grand babies keep her strong and she still has one yet to meet. God works in mysterious ways...who knows what the Big Guy has planned for her. Without a doubt though, she's loved by many!
