The Nuances of Life
Yesterday I ended up driving my Mom and brother to the podiatrist. Not quite 2 weeks since surgery and I’ve still got a couple more days with it on. Again I found myself sitting right in front of my former workplace. A distant memory came back to me. The church lady and friend Yvonne came…

Forgiveness
What does this word mean? The Merriam-Webster Dictionary says, “the act of forgiving.” In the Bible I know there is scripture talking about 70 times 7. It is in Matthew 18:21-22.

Election Day
Woke up at 6:30 am this morning. Yet Mom still thought she had to come in and wake me up which was a bit odd. It’s been a long, long time since she’s done that. We left the house before 7 am with my uncle. We had a car full as we of voters as…

Family Friends
Last week we found out about a death. One of my Mom’s brothers told us once he found out about it. It wasn’t a surprise and yet it is still bittersweet. Both sides of my family know him and his very large family. There are so many times nestled in my memory seeing him and…

Miracles
Yesterday I alluded to a miracle. I should have used the word in plural form. The first miracle of the weekend was getting a weekend with my niece in the first place. We have been pushed aside not necessarily by my niece, but by circumstances being manipulated. Thursday evening was a pretty perfect evening having…

Monday: An Appointment… A Memory
Honestly with a few different layers of stress falling on me every day or every other day I didn’t want to get up that morning. What I didn’t understand was that my younger brother would be working early that morning and I had thought he might accompany Mom while Dad had his appointment. So I…

Observing Midwest Common Folk
I love this photo. My Grandpa’s in conversation with a few other people. Plus my Uncle Horace is in the original photo. Different hotspot though this was at a wedding. Due to some unforeseen circumstances I ended up driving my Uncle to breakfast and Mom came with us. This is unusual. We normally eat at…
