A Quick Update

Hi-ya, guys. I just wanted to take a sec to update y'all on what's happening with us. First off, thank you so much for your continued support and caring messages. I appreciate them more than I can say. Bottom line, we're now doing hospice care in our home. This isn't the outcome we would've chosen, but we're blessed to have had so many years together. Sure, we would've liked to have had another 51 years of marriage... hey! we coulda made it into the Guinness book of world records... but no, alas, that's not to be. Things are kinda rough right now, but the hospice folks are a Godsend, and somehow, somehow, I'll make it through. I think. I dunno when.... or even if... I'll return to blogging. But if I can... I will.

Y'all take care of yourselves. And each other.

    Dear Susan, You and your family have been much in my thoughts lately. I have a great confidence in your strength and the indestructible love at the root of it. Your stability,compassion and good humor have helped me through some hard times over the years. Nothing so difficult as what you face now, but still, I'm here --hope you still have our address. If not, let me know here and I promise not to post or publish it.

    Thank you for the update, although it has made me cry. I don't know what else to say, this is so hard even though I only know you online. I love the header photo, the twinkle in your eyes, the happy smiles.

    Not the ending anyone would choose, but yes those hospice folks are very special people. I don't know they do what they do day after day. Enjoy each day to the fullest that's the best thing right now. My thoughts and prayers are with you each step of the way!

    I have missed so much fighting my battles and a wildfire that wants to destroy my home that I have let everything drop.
    So very sorry to read this but what a wonderful life together you both have had.
    Like I said before I think of you both and several friends everyday.
    Your friend, gayle xx

    As someone who recently went through something similar, but with a parent, I know how many emotions you must be going through. I wish you so much love and support. Thank God for Hospice. They are so very kind, competent and helpful too. I don't know what I can do, but if you need anything I can help with, even an ear of a stranger/friend (is that a thing???), feel free to reach out any time.

    Oh Susan, I can’t tell you how sorry I am. This is such a lovely photo and I know how you’ve been surrounding your wonderful hubby with beautiful memories and lots of love. You are one of the strongest people I know, but please lean on your family and friends for extra support. I will message you. Take care my friend.
