I remember holding Renee in the hospital. So new, tiny, and precious. I remember thinking how far away her being 18 seemed. Now she's 24 and has a baby of her own. I am almost 43 now. Mom is 86. We know her days are numbered. But, it seems like just a few days ago my dad was 43. Now he is 76.
We all know it is inevitable, we will face things in our lives as we get older. Seeing it here on us is hard. Finding out your sister has cancer shakes your very foundation. Seeing your oldest brother have a stroke is just terrible. Were supposed to be young still, carefree. Where has the time gone? What more will we see?
I just want to be ready when the Lord of all creation calls my name.

This is the part of life that is not so enjoyable. When you get older you can see what you didn't notice when you were young.About sickness and growing old. There is much sadness and grief along with it. I guess all we can do is take one day at a time and hope for the best. Praying helps too! I love life with all my heart and will take whatever it wishes to give me.That's all I know to do. I'll also say "I love you." to those that I do cause you never know if you'll get another chance.
