Hello Dearest Blog,
My apologies for leaving you all alone for so long. You, however, are like me and you're resilient and you bounce back. After all it's the only choice we have; perhaps not the only choice, but the smart one.
Let's see if I can bring you up to date. Last month I saw a new doctor for my diabetes, a new endocrinologist who I adore and thank for his knowledge and expertise. I've been taking insulin for a few weeks now and for the first time in such a long time, I feel great! My energy has returned, I'm eating healthy and I look forward to every day now.
I'm grateful for my renewed body and spirit because I have a new grandson...Rylan Tate Lassiter made his appearance on February 16, 2011, a couple of weeks after Ryan returned from Kyrgyzstan. Gosh, I have beautiful grandchildren! Rylan is a sweet angel just sent from heaven. A couple of weeks ago I had the opportunity to spend time with him and also Hudson whom I haven't seen in so very long. The love in your heart for family and the bond you share never goes away...no matter how hard evil people try to take it away.
I know Ryan was deeply grateful to have his family together again.
I can't say that my life is all joy and happiness. I worry so much about another of my children. I feel helpless because I want to help this person so much and there's nothing I can do. But (my child) I love you so deeply...I don't want to see you have the problems in your life I had when you were growing up. Only you can make the changes necessary for your life to improve, but never forget I'm here in your corner, I'm always here for you...I'm your biggest fan.
Well, dearest Blog, I think I've brought you up to date on all that's going on with me these days. Who knows how much time we have here on this earth. I lost a dear friend I grew up with a few weeks ago...she was 2 years younger than me. We went to church together when we were kids through our teenage years. If every woman could be half the woman Deborah was we would be amazing. She was beautiful, talented, a true Latter Day Saint woman who loved the Lord, her husband, her children and grandchildren. She never had an unkind word to say about anyone. I miss you Deborah.
There is a beautiful "super" moon tonight. I enjoyed sitting outside in the quiet and getting lost in it's beauty. Our lives move in such a fast pace it's easy to forget about the small things...a fresh spring morning, the scent of a rose, the simple beauty of a moonlit night. Stop, take time to enjoy life.
