I have kept in touch with some of my family and was talking with my sister a few days ago, and it was not as it usually is, all chatting and fun. It's like she was holding something back. She was.
I called Mom this morning and we had a hour and ten minutes of nice talking. One of the things she told me was, MY son has been in the hospital, last week got home and right back in again, this time bleeding.
They live in Texas now.
I'm heavy duty praying for him and am finally calmed down to function for this afternoon. *****UPDATE! MY SON WILL BE OKAY. HE IS HOME NOW AND HAS "EROSION" I'M ASSUMING IT'S ESOPHAGUS EROSION. HE WAS COUGHING UP BLOOD. OR IT COULD BE STOMACH EROSION. MOM DID NOT SAY.*****END OF UPDATE
Well, anyway, I have decorations ( deck the halls :) all finished, Christmas cards are done and mailed, but still have some left for friends here in the city and neighbors in my building. Christmas shopping is done and it was scarce this year, as I'm paying cash for all eight of my medicines. January will be when my new insurance kicks in though :)
It's the time of year I just love, just to sit back and relax, watching The Hallmark Channel or sometimes the Family Channel and Lifetime too, for their excellant Christmas shows.
It's especially the time of year to count our blessings and be thankful, and just appreciate life as we know it. It's still "life." No matter how bad we think it is, it could be worse. There is a reason, yes, for everything.
It's great that some of our troops will be home this month and that awful Iraq war is over. There are plenty of troops stationed away from their families/friends this holiday season, so if you pray, please keep them in your prayers too!

hi Sunnyshine!
I was just thinking of you yesterday and now see your update!
I can understand the worry about your son and not getting any news (I didn't even know you had a son)... my brothers never write so I can only go by "no news is good news" when it comes to my parents conditions. *sigh*
Take care sweety!
HI DORRIE :) I HAVE BEEN THINKING OF YOU TOO, ALL SNOWY AND CHRISTMASY IN GERMANY.
THANKYOU FOR UNDERSTANDING. YES , I HAVE THREE SONS, ONE I HAD TO GIVE UP FOR ADOPTION, AND TWO DAUGHTERS.
THERE IS NEW NEWS BUT I AM TOO UPSET TO WRITE ABOUT IT.
THANKYOU, YOU TAKE CARE TOO :)
I just read the updates!! I am so happy that you are "re-connecting" (if that's the proper way to put it) to your son and his family! Now if you could meet up with them live, that would be sooooo awesome!
THANKS, DORRIE! YES THAT'S A GREAT WORD :) HE AND MY DAUGHT-IN-LAW WERE ALREADY TALKING ABOUT THAT, SOON MAYBE THIS COMING YEAR! :) TWO GRAND KIDS ARE STILL AT HOME. ONE IS 12 AND ONE IS 17 GOING TO GRADUATE THIS COMING YEAR.
THE OTHER TWO GIRLS ARE ON THEIR OWN, ONE IN NATIONAL GUARDS, AND ONE WITH BABY DUE DECEMBER 25!
Looks like you will have one of the Merriest Christmas ever after your son's call. MERRY CHRISTMAS SUNNY!!!
