I miss the times I used to spend with my daughter. I have only seen her four whole days since December 2013. That's not enough!!! <br />
<br />
What a blessing it was to have her come home this week. She is finished with her job and school starts tomorrow, so she came home to spend some time in the heat, visit with friends, spend the night with Gramz, and hang out with Dad and Mom.<br />
<br />
We had a nice visit driving home from the airport, spent an entire day shopping, I read to her (to help her finish up her assigned reading), we laughed and laughed, Bob and her went on a Father/Daughter Date and Gramz took us out to eat A LOT!! <br />
<br />
Now this today...<br />

If you would have your son to walk honorably through the world, you must not attempt to clear the stones from his path, but teach him to walk firmly over them - not insist upon leading him by the hand, but let him learn to go alone." Anne Bronte</div>

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE these women! Each month, we take turns sharing about what is going on in our lives and the texts fly back and forth when we have prayer requests. <div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Earlier in the year, Kim suggested that we take a trip to San Francisco this summer. We I worked the election in June, I put the money I earned in a special envelope marked, "SF TRIP". Oh what fun it has been to have something to look forward to. Last week, we left at 6:00 a.m. on Tuesday and came back on Wednesday night. I can't remember when I have laughed sooooo much! </div>
<div>

Here's some pictures from our trip:</div>

<br />
Saw this picture the other day, and it sums up exactly how I have been feeling the last month and a half. I do try to stay off my soapbox. I mean that really preachy soap box, but I can't take it anymore. I'm not sure what good it does, because I think I have 2 readers (and it doesn't apply to those 2). But, be warned that I'm officially "stepping up on my box".<br />
<br />
Please don't tell me what I should and shouldn't feel. Unless you have walked in my shoes and have the exact circumstances (and no one has), don't judge me. Yes I feel things that I shouldn't feel. Yes things hurt my feelings that shouldn't. I'm not perfect, and to my knowledge I never claimed to be.<br />
<br />
If you have never had children, please don't criticize me and tell me what I should have or shouldn't have done with mine. I will be the first to admit that I sucked (excuse me for that word Judy) at parenting. But one thing no one can fault me for is that I loved and still love my children more than anything. I have great children who love the Lord! And, just because you have raised dogs doesn't make you an expert on children. Just saying...<br />
<br />
How I spend my money is no one's business. I hate that you make me feel guilty when I buy something. Yes, I am in debt and should never spend another cent or go anywhere, but I have to live a little. A large portion of my debt is medical bills and other circumstances that you know nothing about.<br />
<br />
Ok, I'm done, and stepping down from my box! Most admit that I feel a few pounds lighter right now!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
You never said I'm leaving</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You never said goodbye</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You were gone before I knew it,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And only God knew why.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A million times I needed you,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A million times I cried</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If love alone could have saved you,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You never would have died.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In life I loved you dearly,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In death I love you still.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In my heart you hold a place,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That no one could ever fill.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It broke my heart to lose you,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But you didn't go alone.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For part of me went with you,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The day God took you home.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY IN HEAVEN, DADDY!</div>

On Saturday, I attended a bridal shower for my friend, Grace. What a fun time of celebrating with Grace and showering her with our presence and presents! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Oh, what a testimony Grace has been to me and many others. Like most girls, Grace always dreamed of growing up and getting married. She has been patient all these years and trusted the Lord. Oh, yes, there have been times of discouragement and wondering if it would ever happen. But she trusted God with all her heart, and now (at 49 years old) she is getting married! It was so fun to hear the story of how God brought them together. I am so happy for Grace and for John, too! John is a widower and also lost his only child in a car accident two years ago. What joy and happiness God has given John by bringing them together.</div>

<span lang="EN" style="color: #545454; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Dear Mrs. Bennett:<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN" style="color: #545454; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span lang="EN" style="color: #545454; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">I find it hard to believe that you
are really gone. It is nearly impossible to find words to say when
someone passes away too soon. With
sudden death, </span><span lang="EN" style="color: #333233; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">you have no preparation and no time to
gradually absorb the reality that the world around you is about to change
dramatically.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN" style="color: #333233; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span lang="EN" style="color: #333233; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Unfortunately, I realize that you are only one
of the big losses I will face in my life.
So many of my dear friends are getting older and no longer seem as
invincible as they once did. I am grateful for the hope I have in Jesus knowing I will see you and others again in Heaven.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN" style="color: #333233; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span lang="EN" style="color: #333233; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">I don’t know about Gary Smalley’s five love
languages, but I do know that <u>YOU</u> spoke <u>MY</u> love language. EVERY time we saw each other you would hug
me --
the perfect hug that is relaxed and sincere; a hug where your embrace
wrapped around me so tight I could feel your heartbeat. Then you would place your hands on my face,
kiss me (yes, kiss me and it wasn’t weird), make eye contact with me and say, “I
love you”. You loved me unconditionally,
and that changed my life! It was freeing
because you allowed me to always be myself with no worries that your feelings
for me would <u>ever</u> change. When someone
loves you truly unconditionally, it drives you to try even harder to be the
best person you can be.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span lang="EN" style="color: #333233; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span lang="EN" style="color: #333233; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Friendship is renewable, but people are
not. No person or new friendship will
ever quite replace you. But...your
memory will always be alive in my heart. When I close my eyes and whisper "Geri Bennett", I will always see your sweet face and beautiful smile.</span><br />
<span lang="EN" style="color: #333233; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

There was food, food, and some more food and lots of yummy desserts. And we always enjoy such sweet fellowship around the tables. Just as a side note, we have a table for the "older" folks, a "middle age" table (where I sit these days) and a table for the "kids". We have ALWAYS done this at Haley family get-togethers since I was a little child.<br />

After shopping until we dropped, we walked to this beautiful park that is a block away from where my brother lives. They had a train that went all around the park, and we took a ride! The park is beautiful and has a train, carousal, and a petting zoo. <br />

After exploring the park, we toured this beautiful Victorian home that is near my brother's house. It is owned by the Hayward Historical Society. The last remaining member of the family who owned it lived there until he was 102. It was sooooo beautiful and well maintained. The furnishings, etc. were also beautiful. <br />

We stopped for lunch at Granzela's in Williams and went to Marshall's and shopped a little bit. <br />
<br />
My brother is now the Assistant Manager of Wittenberg Manor, a low-income senior housing facility in Hayward. He has a nice little apartment, and I must say the grounds are absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!<br />

We toured the whole grounds and facility. In the back, they have a little section of ground for each apartment where the residents can grow some vegetables and/or flowers. In addition to the apartments, they have a beautiful Dining Room, Kitchen, Activity Room (where you can play pool, ping pong, bingo, etc.), a library, and a spot where people can come and work on a jigsaw puzzle. They have lots of parties and activities including bingo, coffee hour on Fridays, Bible studies, exercise classes, etc. I MUST SAY THAT I WANTED TO MOVE IN!! :0)<br />
<br />
I will confess that when we visit my brother, we tend to just live from one meal to the next. We are barely finished with one meal when we are thinking about where we want to go for the next one. It's <u>ALL</u> about eating!!<br />
<br />
Friday night, we went to Chili's, one of my most favorite restaurants. Wish we had one in Redding. We had some delicious appetizers and food. Went back to my brother's apartment and played pinochle half the night.<br />

I took this picture yesterday (August 19, 2013). It was Lyle's first day of school at Shasta College. Every single year, since my kids started Kindergarten, I have taken a picture of them by the front door on the first day of school.<br />
<br />
After I took the picture, I realized it will be the last "first day of school" picture I take. Next year, Lyle (and Hilary too!) will be away at a University, and I won't be there for the first day of school. <br />
<br />

<ul>
<li>Live an interesting life, do fun things, and go on vacations and trips</li>
<li>Have profound things to say (like Pastor Bill from Neighborhood Church -- see his blog at <a href="http://maxgrace.wordpress.com/">http://maxgrace.wordpress.com/</a>)</li>
<li>Have babies or small children that out-of-town grandparents want to see 20 pictures of a day</li>
</ul>
<div>
Guess what? I don't fall into any of these categories! Thus, the lack of posts lately!</div>

<span style="color: #40464b; font-family: Georgia, serif;">June 28, 2013. It was supposed to be a momentous occasion—the
day my daughter would walk down the aisle in her beautiful wedding gown,
bouquet in hand, best friends at her side, family and friends looking on with joy. It was supposed to be the day she started a
new chapter, the day her dreams would be fulfilled. It was supposed to be the day I started a new
role—mother in law—to someone I loved like he was already one of my own.</span></div>

<span style="color: #40464b; font-family: Georgia, serif;">But, God had other plans.</span><span style="color: #40464b; font-family: Georgia, serif;"> </span><span style="color: #40464b; font-family: Georgia, serif;">As much as it hurts, God is always there to
pick up the pieces.</span><span style="color: #40464b; font-family: Georgia, serif;"> </span><span style="color: #40464b; font-family: Georgia, serif;">Marriage and family
are still two things I want most for her, but I know that they’re in God’s
control—not mine.</span><span style="color: #40464b; font-family: Georgia, serif;"> </span><span style="color: #40464b; font-family: Georgia, serif;">She must find
fulfillment in God.</span><span style="color: #40464b; font-family: Georgia, serif;"> </span><span style="color: #40464b; font-family: Georgia, serif;">He is her rock, the
one who deserves her love and attention right now.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 4.9pt;">
<span style="color: #40464b; font-family: Georgia, serif;">While it is a daily struggle to trust
Him with the things I care about so deeply, He has proven that He’s looking out
for her.</span><span style="color: #40464b; font-family: Georgia, serif;"> </span><span style="color: #40464b; font-family: Georgia, serif;">I leave her future in God’s

Lyle shared a conversation he had with one of his friends (that I don't know):</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
Friend: So what exactly happened to your Mom?<br />
<br />
Lyle: She had a perforated bowel, and they did surgery to remove eight inches of her colon.<br />
<br />
Friend: Boy, I hope she never has to make a list.<br />
<br />
Lyle: A list?<br />
<br />
Friend: Yeh, a list. Cause she only has a semicolon instead of a colon.<br />
<br />
Kind of corny, but I laughed so hard when Lyle shared this with me.Juliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16469867536384045954noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3223742552912036391.post-89754445140084346712013-06-17T13:41:00.001-07:002013-06-17T13:41:01.639-07:00Appreciating Little Everyday Things<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Recently I spent eight long days in Mercy Medical Center! I’ll spare you too much detail, but I ended
up having emergency surgery for a ruptured bowl and had eight inches of my
colon removed. After the surgery, I
developed some problems with my lungs.
Let’s just say, “NOT FUN!”</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Throughout my hospital stay, I realized that we take so much
for granted:</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Breathing -- that’s a big one!! I had no clue that it is so much work to just
breath. As most of you know, I do love
to talk…but for two days I chose to concentrate on breathing instead. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Water -- For four days, I could have no water or other
liquids. The only thing I could do was
dip a sponge in water and swab my mouth.
When I finally got to have ice chips, it was better than handing me a
million dollars.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Food -- When you haven’t eaten for days, food (yes,
even hospital food) tastes sooooo good.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Showers -- On my fifth day in the hospital, I started to
feel a little better and started asking for a shower. Never got one! I don’t blame the nurses; they are so
busy. Yes, eight days without a
shower! Thank you to my friend, Carmen,
who came one day and washed my hair with some dry shampoo and gave me a “spit
bath”. That is the true meaning of
friendship!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Going to the Bathroom
-- Every time I needed to use the
bathroom, I had to push my nurse call button and wait for the nurse to
come. She would then have to unhook my
IV and temporarily cap it off. Unplug
the oxygen from the wall and hook it up to a portable tank. Then, when I returned from the bathroom, the
nurse had to do all that again. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I hope I am a changed person and appreciate all the little
things in life so much more after this experience!</div>

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Verdana","sans-serif"; font-size: 9.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Today I am trying to let go of my “expectations” of what
life should look like and embrace the messy reality instead.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Lyle's friend, Donnel, is a senior at Enterprise High School. She had made this sign and each of the letters stood for something. The "P" was for "prancing" (because, as Donnell explained, she couldn't use dancing cause it started with a "D"). It was sooooo creative.<br />
