My mother also passed away right before the holidays just 3 days before Christmas and so each year I get a bit melancholy on the date, but it's nothing to feel bad about as it shows how much we remember them.Beatrice P.

It is a great pleasure to read your blog posts and get glimpses of what and who your days are filled with. I believe your knee has held up amazingly well and got you through most of the important activities of December....and now it is time to get your new knee!! I know so many people who have gone through that procedure very successfully and think you will soon be among them..And now it is your turn to be on the receiving end end of Others' attention....so gather your books and cozy blankets, let Louis Dean cook for you and play music for you and relax!

No matter our ages, missing our parents seems hard at holidays. I miss seeing the photos of you and your mom as you would get your hair done on Fridays. I am praying for you. You did a very good deed helping everyone. I honestly am praying for all of us. We need God's healing powers. Hugs to you sweet friend. Love you and LD so much.

It gets better, and we get used to it, but the grieving never goes away. I think you made a good decision to get your hospital things now, and not put that off. My favorite part of the video is the man dancing with the lady in the wheelchair, that is just so cool!! Now she can say that she went dancing at a party. HOORAY, you got gravel at the ranch!! We went to Michael's yesterday and got a wood frame for your painting. It was $36.00, but they were having a weekend doorbuster sale and we got it for $11.00.

A picture, a comment and seeing someone who reminds me of him always catches me by surprise. When Joshua was born and Charles and Nancy gave Joshua Daddy's middle name, it meant so much to me. I think we do need to remember the good times, the essence of who that loved one really was!! Thank you for the pretty Christmas card. My friend who reads your blog was here so I got to show it to her as well. We both think you and LD are the celebrities in our lives. We love seeing what you two are up to! You mentioned shopping for hospital clothes. Well I would take out some shorts to wear at home. Marvin had his knee done in january and he wore shorts at home because it was more comfortable. He would pull on Sweat Pants to wear to his rehab. With doing all the icing, the shorts were just easier to deal with and I would put a blanket over him in his recliner. You are going to LOVE that new knee.Arlene Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17845514896764280013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6622758739580732797.post-19285701916625885292019-12-14T08:06:00.317-06:002019-12-14T08:06:00.317-06:00What a special care home you found for your Mom an...What a special care home you found for your Mom and now all these people are in your life.

When I feel the tears coming, I let them, but then I remember where my Darling is and I think how happy and at home He is. It’s been nearly ten years and I still miss my mother. I think we always will miss them. (Would you believe that my sister and I have both done something to our knees? Good grief! I am in total sympathy. It is an aggravation for certain.) Much love to you and peace and joy. All this is Why He came.

You took the time to notice these lovely people, and to notice what they needed. Beautiful pictures and stories. Thank you for sharing.<br /><br />I’ve never lost anyone I love, so I can’t say I know how you feel, but I can imagine. When my mother-in-law lost her husband, she missed him the most at the most unexpected times, little things she used to enjoy with him. I think it’s good to remember those quiet, simple moments that bring you the most joy.
