Thank you for your kind words and yes, God in His creativity constantly seems to come up with new and varied ways to build my patience. :) That was definitely the case while Daddy lived with us. He is happily settled in a wonderful assisted living facility 3 miles from my house now and has a great lady-friend to tell him what he thinks and needs to do...which is what he missed the most about my Mom, I think. So God continues to be good!<br /><br />Hope you and yours are well. Loved hearing from you, and love the Christmas updates every year. I feel like I've gotten to watch your sons grow up long-distance.<br /><br />Keep in touch, and thanks again for the comment.Carlene Archerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15295059098850400796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-695033126259178156.post-21477598664907278972013-07-19T16:13:40.213-04:002013-07-19T16:13:40.213-04:00Hi Lisa...I know so well what you mean.

It's such a schizophrenic world; you want to care for them and be with them because you love them, but it is so very taxing on your heart, body, mind, and soul. Tough season. But that is how we say love to them in that stage of their lives. Blessings on your for your love for your grandmother.Carlene Archerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15295059098850400796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-695033126259178156.post-46520496169084718772012-08-28T07:27:39.982-04:002012-08-28T07:27:39.982-04:00Carlene,

And God must be developing a whole wheelbarrow of patience in you through this experience of having your dad with you.<br /><br />Can't believe you have a granddaughter!<br />Thanks for sending...Karen Hutchinsonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-695033126259178156.post-42861873026088062532012-04-30T20:32:28.076-04:002012-04-30T20:32:28.076-04:00Beautiful, Carlene...just beautiful.
