Amazing Grace

Dear friends and family. Today is my mother’s birthday and I am with her in Jacksonville. My sister and brother-in-law (Mom’s full time care givers) drove mom to sister Sarah’s last evening and we had a big reunion here in Jax. Then mom and I slept a long beautiful sleep in Sarah’s big bed upstairs. Mom is still sleeping (which is why she can stay up late at night…). Today we plan a celebration with lots of Sarah’s kids and grandkids and of course, us, the 3 sisters. I am so blessed and can only offer thanks to our God for giving me this beautiful day.  I spoke to Chuck yesterday when I arrived safely in Jax (he is "all alone" at the lakehouse this weekend…) he had taken a nap and was preparing to go to Physical Therapy.  It is time for him to be in the nest alone and to leave the nest on his own, but he does have 3 neighbors watching out for him!  If he knew the mothering I order up for him he would freak! I have let him out of the nest alone and you have shared my angst in this blog in the past, but always there are beautiful loving "mothers" nearby.  Thank God for healthy husband and good friends. Happy birthday and love to you all. Susie
