It's Been Awhile!

I'm sitting here looking at the calendar and realizing I have not updated this blog since January 31. Much has happened in the past 3 1/2 weeks. Trey was married in the mountains on February 7...a beautiful and intimate time for he and Jenni.....bittersweet for Debbie and I. We are so happy for them and the life they have in front of them. It's hard to turn the pages in the book of life sometimes and as the kids have grown and started their own families....it's hard to realize that life as you have known it for so many years....has changed! It's an adjustment! Our lives have been focused on our children for 28 years....many times at the sacrifice of our personal relationship with each other. We have always put our children first and tried to give them everything they needed and many of the things they wanted. It's difficult to back away and let them develop their own ways of coping with the curveballs of life, but it's what must be done. We're proud of them and well we should be. They are precious and special and honor us by the choices they have made in the foundation they have set for their marriages.
Now, let's talk about illness. I have a new appreciation of wellness! I have finally gone back to work today after two weeks of sickness. Two visits to the doctor, 6 hours in the emergency room w/ 2 bags of IV fluids and a blood pressure of 72/50 at one point. I have yet to hear a diagnosis, other than the flu test revealed it WASN'T the flu after being told it was and being treated as if it was. ALL I KNOW IS...WHATEVER IT WAS...DON'T WISH IT ON ANYONE PAST, PRESENT, OR FUTURE. It's good to feel better...not 100% yet, but better.
