Good Morning, Brothers & Sisters Thread

Morning all, gonna be a beautiful 70 degree day here today and tomorrow. Going to get some more of the outside chores done before the weather decides to sock in. Leaning toward a fishing day tomorrow as the weekend forecast calls for rain. Everyone have a great and safe day.

 

Sorry you got the bad news. But, perhaps you can set yourself up, so your life won't be too physically demanding. I hope you have enough help to get through this winter, if you need it.

 

Good morning! Another dreary damp morning in the flatlands of northern Indiana. I went to the Marketplace score and loaded a full truck of cottonwood. Not my favorite species but it all burns. The pics didn't do it justice. I'm guessing another load and a half plus they have railroad ties and wood chips if I want them. No other outside work done as it rains every few minutes. Music practice at church tonight. Have a God day!

 

Very sorry for this.

Sorry so long Im not feeling to good. Thanks for reading.

 

Mark, so sorry to hear about Barbara. I can't even imagine how hard it is on you. I hope hospices is with you to hel you out. Thoughts and prayers going on to you.

 

Praying brother. May the Lord comfort you with His gentle Spirit and give you strength.

 

Hang in there, Mat.

 

So sad to hear. Prayers your way Brother. Remember the Lord has a plan for all of us.

 

You are her angel, to be there for her! I am sure that on some level she is grateful for all that you do for her. Especially keeping her at home. Take care of yourself, in the meantime.

 

Bad news Dennis. Sorry to hear that. Hope it turns out better than it sounds!

 

As I quickly skimmed through the back pages of this thread (which sadly I have neglected recently) I see that several "Friends in Firewood" have been experiencing some rough patches lately with regards to aging parents. It is always sad to watch our loved ones age and decline. I'm very sorry MikeInMa mat60 and T.Jeff Veal that you are having to deal with these circumstances. If I left anyone out please forgive me. In my experience, dealing with aging parents was the most difficult thing I have ever done. At some point, especially when your loved one has dementia and does not recognize what you are doing for them, you can only take solace in the fact that you are doing right by them. Honoring your loved one by sticking by them and providing what dignity and help that you can is truly a treasure in heaven no matter the difficulty and sadness that it brings now. Good on all of you! Take it one day at a time, treasure the last moments that are pleasant and remember that happiness shared is doubled and sadness shared is halved!

 

So very well said.
