I haven’t written you all for quite some time. My heart has felt so heavy and I haven’t felt like writing. There seems to be so many big things going on in our family right now, that at times I feel overwhelmed.
The most pressing matter at the time is the health of Garth’s mom. She went downhill quickly from Sunday to Monday. There is a chance she may have had one or two strokes, she has had about four seizures, and is on oxygen to help her breathe. Her bone marrow disease has turned into leukemia, and her trouble breathing may have turned into pneumonia.
Garth’s sister and two girls were here last week to see her before she got real bad. It was such a great time with them. Now our family is struggling through the stomach flu, and trying to plan a 12th birthday for Emma on Thursday. Please pray for all of us. I took the kids to see Dottie this morning and then made them go to school. Of course, school was the last thing they wanted to do, but I am hoping the distraction will do them good. Wyatt is home with the flu. He is hopefully the last one to get it.
We do know that Dottie is a Christian. I clearly found written records of when she gave her heart to God June 1, 1951. So there is much joy to be had at the thought of how wonderful her heavenly body will be compared to this earthly body that has caused her so much trouble.
Here are a few pictures:
