Billie,
I pop in this website often, and was very happy to see your name, even though it is under these circumstances. I think of you often, and wondering,
HOW ARE YOU? Did you have your hernia surgery? If you did, how did it go?
I always think of you as being so brave, and admire your faith!
I do not know what you are going through, but I can keep you in my thoughts and prayers. And send you some big cyber
((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((hugs)))))))) ))))))))))))))))))))).
My mom's husband is in hospice now, and Thanksgiving was hard, but she got through it OK. It is hard to watch her go through this, knowing she is going to be alone soon.
I hope your church makes sure you are not too lonely through the holidays. You can come spend the holidays with my family (we will take you in with open arms) if you would like!
Carolyn

Thank You for the invite. I will be with my husbands family for Christmas. It won't be the same, but I have no choice. We spent the Holidays together for Thanksgiving, only here at my place. I don't mind having them all come here, only Christmas, I don't have a big enough place. I have a double wide, but the family is large. I readly like my new place. I don't like my yard full of tree's because of all the leaves. it has been a nightmare. I am worn out from all the raking today and I hired help.

I got over my hernia operation fine. No problems. It sure wasn't like having back surgery. I am not completely over it yet. I have an appointment Dec. 21.
It to see if I am fusing ok. They haven't check that yet.

Somehow I don't feel brave or full of faith. I do know God did help me threw the back surgery. For when I checked in I didn't have no fear and the same after surgery also. They just couldn't see how I could do so much so quick. It was God, not me. I knew I had a special touch and nothing anyone said made any difference. They even turned my bed alarm on, because I was getting up without any help. I told them I didn't need help. ha! They tried putting me in rehab and nobody had room or they said I wasn't sick enough. I just laughed at them. I really have done well.

I feel for your Mother. I will say a prayer for her that God will give her a special touch & strenght when she needs it.
Thanks for the invite Carolyn. You are so nice.
Blessings,
Billie

Hi Billie, I just was thinking of you and hoping you are doing OK. I do hope your arthritis is not giving you too much pain. I also have it and know just how painful it can be.
Be good to yourself, you deserve it!

It's good to hear from you. Yes, I am doing ok, so far. Probably Christmas day my mind will be on Bob. If no then Christmas eve. Thats when we had our Christmas. I am going to invite a friend over that will be alone too. We can cheer each other up. She sure needs it. She has a family and they aren't coming around. I know I can invite her to my sister in laws too that day.

We have so many there and it won't be to unwarp gifts, just to eat and have fellowship together. Theres to is on Christmas eve.
hugs,
Billie
