As many of you know, I expected Juergen to be home this week, gone last week. I hadn't made plans to do anything with anyone. It's so cool that people actually keep coming by to see us. It makes the days full, and we are not so board or lonely for Juergen. My good friend Kerstin was here today with her boys. Tomorrow Philip and Thomas get to spend the whole afternoon at the jump in ( a giant indoor play park). Tomorrow night a good friend comes for dinner. Then Juergen (God willing) will come home Friday. The whole single mom of 5 thing will be over (thank you Jesus). It really has been fine, but I'm so thankful I have Juergen. His mom has been sleeping more and more. She has lost her ability to sit up, feed herself, or even speak. Juergen says she looks sad and board. I pray God heals her, or takes her home. This slowly slipping away is very sad. I can think of no other words to describe it. Juergen told me on the phone, "God is either going to heal her or she will be the first one in the family to meet Jesus". When he said that I got the chills! I guess death would not be so bad, it is only this long death that is hard.
My niece had a beautiful baby girl named Olivia Rose (Beautiful name). Everyone is very excited and thank God healthy! Congratulations to the whole family! Hugs to my sister Shelley who is now a proud grandma for the 2nd time. My sister Dianna has 6 grand kids (I think). My brother and I are too young for such an blessing. At least our kids are too young. I'm going to have to wait to be called grandma. Here is a cool picture I took off Shelley's blog. It shows Eric (the tired but proud grandpa) Lissa with her first daughter Charlotte, and then a sleeping Olivia Rose. 3 generations in one shot. How fast life goes by! How beautiful life can be!
