Grateful

Happy Friday. I am so happy that this week is over and done with. I feel sad, but at least I can breathe again.

The tree started decaying last Sunday, a terminal (tree) diagnoses on Monday and on Wednesday, the arborist and crew brought the tree down. I cried. 

Sweet granddaughter Matilda's birthday was on Wednesday. We were to meet the Miller's for dinner at PF Chang's. Josh was ill and could not join us, and on the way to the restaurant, Lauren & Matilda had a call from the veterinarian. Their dog Ellie was diagnosed with lymphoma.  It was not a very happy birthday dinner.

Thursday brought Larry's surgery. I was able to bring him home after a long day, and made him comfort food for dinner. Meat loaf, mashed potatoes and green beans. He was happy. To say that I am thankful, would be an understatement.

Yes, I did struggle this week. Keeping positive in the face of such turmoil was difficult, but I did it. I relied on prayers and deep breaths...

Today will be a day of recovery in more ways than one.

Thank you for sticking by us. (you know who you are) Life is wonderful...even when it isn't.

Love you beyond the moon.
