Catch up post #1 - Copied from my DS journal - May 7, 2012 For any readers that are not DS friends (if there are any) This explains the storm in more detail!
We have been dealing with a lot of emotional stuff lately. Sometimes when it rains, it pours. One of our sons and family has had crisis after crisis this past year - including 2 car accidents (both not their fault) and a fire that destroyed all of their possessions. Fortunately no-one was hurt in the fire, but my son has been in a lot of pain since the latest car accident a month ago. He is also starting to experience panic attacks. I guess its not surprising after all he has been through lately. It breaks my heart and I wonder how much more he can handle before he breaks. I fear it is not much!!
To top it off in the past month and a half my sweet beautiful MIL (mother-in-law) fell and broke her arm, then fell again and broke her hip, had two surgeries to fix the breaks, then had a major stroke. Thankfully, God has been merciful and allowed her to pass away peacefully this weekend. Although we are sad and will greatly miss her, we are comforted to know she is in a better place and that she has been reunited with her loved ones, and her beloved husband. This weekend, we went through her pictures and was reminded of the many many wonderful memories of her life. She was (is) a beautiful lady who has taught us much. Yes - she will be missed indeed!
Over all, for now, I am holding up OK. I continue to try to stick to my exercise routine which helps with the stress. We have been traveling a lot to deal with these issues. God walks this road with me and I will be eternally grateful for His continuous help and support. Without it - I don't know where I would be at this moment. Actually - I do know - and it would not be pretty.
