Sisters

I love my sisters!! Each one of them is special to me in different ways. This past week I was able to spend some time with both of them when I went back home to Wilmington to help sort through some of my parents' things. I can't remember the last time it was just the three of us and I, for one, thoroughly enjoyed just having them to myself. To go through the personal things of our parents was difficult for each of us, but we were able to share intimate stories, tears, and laughter as we relived over 50 years of memories. I have missed many family moments over the past 30 years traveling all over four states with Kroger. Now that we are on the backside of our lives...closer to the end than the beginning...I hope in the years we have left we will be able to spend more time together. Susan and Mary Grey.....I love you.

Surgery!!

I'll be taking my girl to the hospital at 6 A.M. tomorrow for surgery at 7:30 A.M.. She's having a "female" type operation to fix several things that have bothered her for a few years and the doctor says "now is the time," so....now is the time.
I can't imagine anyone relishes the thought of going to the hospital and having a operation, but she's handling all pretty well. Much better than I am! I am not one that can handle my loved ones being sick or in pain. I believe all men look at everything like they can "fix" it if it's broken, but this is not something I can fix. I know she will be fine and she is in very capable hands. None of this caught God by surprise. He loves her more than I ever could and it brings much peace to know that he is already present in the operating room.
He doesn't need our help, but I sure would appreciate it if you would talk to him with me and let Him know we're leaning on the great Physician.
