CHRISTMAS TIME 2016

It has been over 7 years that my beloved Jeannette went to Heaven.  She is always on my mind especially during this holiday time.  Remembering how much she loved decorating her home and making a warm and cozy home for her family that she loved so very much.

Right in the middle of my shopping I notice young mothers with their children making their way to the toy sections of the stores.  I imagine Jeannette doing same thing.  She adored her four children and always made sure Santa brought them what they requested.  It is sad for me at times witnessing all the laughter and glee of families in the stores.  Sometimes I sit in my car in the parking lot drinking my coffee and listening the music and if I am lucky a song will come out that Jeannette loved. 

My current focus in life is my father.  He has really taken a turn for the worse.  His kidneys shut down and now he is on dialysis.  It is taking a toll on his health.  He has no energy.  I went to visit him on Tuesday and found him sitting on his favorite chair covered in warm blanket.  He asked me who I was.  I said, "It's me, daddy."  As I got closer to him he recognized me and was so happy.  My sister and my nephew take good care of him otherwise he would have to be in an assisted living facility.  I am grateful to them for taking on 24/7 responsibility in taking care of him. 

I became a great grandmother in June of this year.  What a blessing to be a great grandmother.  Noah is adorable and such a good baby. 

My granddaughter is about to finish Fresno State University and going on to Graduate School.  I am so proud of her.  Can't wait to celebrate with her.  I know if Jeannette were alive she would be so proud of her too. 

This year has been a blessing to me.  I thank God for waking up everyday  and being able to spread his love.  God is Love. 

Jeannette is missed so much.  Not one day goes by that I do not think of her.  Right now wearing her pink robe and slippers as I  type this post.   Her picture is close by.  I am sure she approves of this post.
