Words of Grace

It's Thanksgiving Day!  This has been a year of challenges and victories for me.  Sometimes, we can look back and forget to be thankful for what we have.  
I have friends who have lost a parent this year.  I have friends who have lost a job this year.  But I also have friends who have gotten a promotion this year and have welcomed new members into their family.  
I think that it could be easy for us to focus on the negative things that are happening in our lives rather than the good.  For this reason, it is appropriate that we have a day each year to appreciate what we have.  I feel the most grateful for my husband of almost 29 years! (December 22 will be 29 years).  He has been the love of my life and my soulmate.  I could not have made it without him these past few years of challenges, heartaches and tragedies.  He has made my life an adventure filled with blessings.  And I mean blessings!!!  You are God's grace in my life honey.  Thank you for being who you are in my life.
I pray that all of you will have something to be thankful for today as well.  Happy Thanksgiving Day!

My Dad Has Alzeheimer's

"Eat lots of raw vegetables!  Chew at least 20 times before swallowing!  Drink water three times a day!" These are the instruction that my father  would repeat over and over as a gastrointerologist to his patients.  My father is a famous doctor in the medical world.  He is in medical history books as one of the innovators for endoscopy.  If you ever had a polyp removed with a scope, the instrument your doctor used is the very instrument that my father invented back in the 1970's.  
Sadly, my father has Alzeheimer's now.  He was diagnosed almost 2 years ago.  It has been very hard for me.  His memory lasts for about 10 minutes and he forgets what we talked about.  He even forgets that he ever saw me.  My husband and I are going through similar struggles with our parents.  His mother has Alzeheimers/dementia as well.  Watching your parents grow old is so hard...
