You know, reality can bite us in the butt. And it can be hard to swallow. Hope is always much better. But there are times when you have to face reality. This week, reality has unfortunately smacked me in the face.My daughter, who is a great athlete and whose identity is wrapped up in being an athlete, didn't make the volleyball team at her school. This totally blows me away because she has played for 4 years. But God has a plan for her that is bigger than this team. As much as I know that, it still breaks my heart to see her not make the team.
The other reality is that my mom is not well and my dad doesn't want to see that. It must be very difficult to take care of someone for so long and see them declining.
Hospice is in place and stopping by the house twice a week. The chaplain visited with them Monday and the bereavement coordinator will visit with them soon. She went to the wound care nurse on Thursday to try to get the place on her scalp where the surgery was performed on 7/9/08 to heal. Please pray as transitions take place.
Love,
Anita
