Sunday Morning of the 21st
Once Mom left my room and she and Dad headed towards Sullivan, I tried to go back to sleep. I had at least 3 alarms to make sure I woke up to prepare the Lasagna. Yet I had a heavy heart… I prayed over the situation and that help would be presented and somehow things…

Writing Prompt:
What’s your #1 Priority tomorrow? Well I would say after having surgery my recovery is my priority for a while. However, we just received word that in the next few days possibly tomorrow my brother could be released and on his way home. So he would definitely be our priority especially still dealing with his…
