The Best Thing I Heard Today

My Papa's Voice!

It almost made me cry (again? really?).  He sounded so great.  He said he wasn't in much pain.  Only has three more tubes hanging out of his body.  Funny as ever.  He has the greatest sense of humor.

This has been a long & emotional week and a half.  But I've learned a lot.

*Miracles happen.

*Fasting & Prayer bring blessings.

*Many people love my family.

*A lot of things really don't matter.

*Some thing really do matter.

*Don't miss a chance to tell your dad you love him.

(If you wish you knew what happened, my sister Geri posted about the ordeal here.)

Every wonder if anyone is listening?

I was asking one of my children (won't mention who) why the dishwasher wasn't empty, even after asking them at least four times to get it done. 

****The answer****

I think you have some food in your teeth.

Growing Pains...for the parents

Our eldest son has had his first shaving lesson.

(THANK GOODNESS)

He had one of those thin, almost-there, makes it hard to look at the person in the eye when you are talking to them kind of mustaches.

There is something about those types of mustaches that make my skin crawl.

Do you think this is sad that I have had these adverse feelings about my darling son?

Well, for those of you that have had boys at this age, you totally understand me, and if you have boys and they haven't hit this very weird time in their lives.....just wait. You'll too have feelings about that sweet little face that you never thought you'd have.

Just for the record, I'm not a real big fan of any facial hair.
