This has been some kind of year for our family. First my brother died on New Years Day followed by my cousin Ruth Ann then my brother-in-law's sister Dianne, Darlene's Aunt Virginia, a close friend's father, another friend's mother and most recently, my sister-in-law's mother. In addition, a nephew had a massive heart attack and paramedics told my sister he was gone. Fortunately, they revived him in the ambulance on the way to the hospital. They put him in a deep freeze coma to preserve blood-flow to the brain and when they brought him out he was fine. Another nephew had a rollover car accident but received only minor injuries.
We turn 57 this year, only 3 years from 60. It didn't hit me when I turned 50 that I was getting old but 60! My little brother turns 50 this year and my oldest sister is in her mid 70's. I'm getting depressed so I think that's all I'll have to say for now.
I heard the other day that Brooke Hartmen Sr. was riding his bike until Brooke Hartmen Jr. told him he had to stop a couple years ago... he was 96 when he was told to stop...
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a tough (to say the least) year for your family.
Terry and Darlene! It is so good to hear from you guys. I'm so sorry about the tough time you have been going through. If we can do anything let me know! It's great to be able to keep in touch from clear across the country. We will be in touch. My jaw pretty much dropped when I saw your comment on the blog. So awesome! Hang in there...
