There's a little bad and a little good in most things. For me that has seldom been so clear as it was yesterday. Both heartache and happiness paid their visits.
The Good: The storms continue after a long drought. We got a few beautiful inches by noon, with more forecasted today.
The Bad
The Ugly
The only ugliness in my personal life is my mother's dementia. Everything else is beautiful. My hubby's enchiladas were made fresh for supper. The grandkids were here when I got home from Mom's, and they are gorgeously robust and lovely, full of laughter.
Father, please guide the search and rescue efforts in Haiti. Please hasten the aid and multiply the food and medical treatment. Bless all the people of Haiti, and bless those who reach out to help, like Dr. Jen who's working in the field.

Oh, Chris! I am so sorry for the pain you are going through with your mother. To watch a loved one slowly go away may be even harder than losing her suddenly. I pray for you and for your dear mother.
I pary for you and your mom Chris. This has to be difficult but I know you have the faith to get through this and be there with your mom and take care of business :-)
Stay the course with no regrets Chris.
I can only imagine how difficult this be for you watch your mom slowly lose her memory. We just love them the best we can for as long as we can.
We had a tornado yesterday! Streets are a mess. Even bigger storm coming...a little too much too fast! Stay dry today :o)
I had an experience with my mother 2 years ago (she was 66 and I 45). Her behavior and actions were so foreign to me and to our relationship that it has taken me 2 years to accept it, release her, and forgive myself. Take good care of yourself and you will be able to take good care of your mom.
Hugs..lots of them..

it is scary to see our parents so...even just with my moms leg and taking care of her, it hits home. thoughts and prayers...and do take care of yourself.
Chris, I'm very sorry. My mother had some mild dementia at 95 but I saw what it did to many others there at the nursing home. I know how hard this is.
I just love you so much....feel the hugs from across the miles...

I do pray for you and your mother, Chris. I know it's hard, but she will find her "home" soon and God will enfold her in his all-forgiving and loving arms.
Thank you for your prayers offered up on behalf Jen and the people of Haiti. You are being used to lift good out of rubble.
blessings,
