2014 has truly been a hard this year. My Mother fell and had to have stitches in her head and cracked two vertebrae. Her doctor said if she was up, she needed someone there at all times. I missed one of my sons graduation, seeing my children on their birthdays, My husband lost his job and had a widow making heart attack, 85 % blockage, all in the same week. In November, the doctor told me I had, had a widow making heart attack, 100 % blockage. Last week, I had to have another heart cath to make sure the stints were not closing. My migraines have really tested me this year. Our oldest son went in the hospital and it was discovered he has heart problems. It has been really hard to make it through. But God has truly blessed me. I got to see my son walk across the stage to receive his college degree. This after spending 8 years as a Navy corpsman with the Marines. When explaining to my 12 year old Granddaughter that Meme and Papa was not able to buy gifts this year, she said, Meme Christmas is not about getting gifts, it is about being with each other and celebrating Jesuss birthday. God, truly blessed us with the birth of our youngest granddaughter, Novalynn Marie. David and I were there to hear her first cry. However, the most precious gift God has given me is my husband. He has given me the most wonderful gift a husband could give. A gift of love and time with my Mother. Since May, I have been living with my amazing Mother. We have talked, laughed and by being there together, helped to make each of us stronger in many ways. I have gotten to re-know my Mother and remember just how amazing she truly is. I got to see just how alike we are in a lot of ways. This would not have been possible without Davids love and understanding. While being separated this long, it has just made us, as husband and wife, stronger. My love for him has only deepen to another level. Someone once said to me they couldnt do this, being separated, they didnt roll that way. All I can say is that I hope we keep rolling. Only God knows how deep the love can get and how many different levels it can go. Merry Christmas to you all.
