1. Sleeping in my own bed.
2. Quiet.
3. Sleeping through the night.
4. Sitting on my deck in the morning drinking coffee.
5. A break from the Gaithers.
6. Reading.
7. Not being a nurse at home.
8. Putting my throw rugs back down.
9. Not asking, "Did you take your pills?"
10. A renewed appreciation for life, health and the opportunity to make better choices and avoid sad consequences.

When you return from your trip this weekend, and you once again have your home to yourself...rest up sister cause you're going to need it; Dad and I aren't getting any younger and we're just a cough away from needing your care too!

There's something about our normal every day lives and routines that becomes a greater comfort the older we get! Sigh!

The Mitch Album book I haven't read but I have read his
"Tuesdays With Morrie"
and loved it! A super quick read, something I am not used to considering I spend my free time reading history!

Is your mom making a statement or a threat, sara?? :)

You are a good and faithful servant of the Lord ... now go and enjoy some rest before you go back to work.

You know, sometimes work can be the better rest (just kidding ... but so true ;) eh??

dear sara,
i know how tired you must be.
i was that tired a couple of years ago when mom and dad golden needed some real looking after, and your mom, miss patty listened to my woes because she understood, having been so faithful in keeping an eye on your gramma.
you know, she has taught you well to be such a caring girl.
i am glad that everything went well with your trip and we will pray for deans mom and dad that they will be good.....love terry
