Still here

It's been a while. We've had a couple of good weeks. Haley's been thoroughly accessorized and wearing too much frosty eyeshadow. That's how I know she's feeling good. She is never completely pain free, her shoulders always hurt a little. Her doctor prescribed new medication that will hopefully work in 12 days. That's the magic number of days before this medication works. If it works. She's achy and feels hot today. Her shoulders, arms and hands. She is exhausted and has no energy. I'm praying it's just a cold and not another flare up.

Thanksgiving was yesterday. All week I have been feeling the loss of Pastor Forrest and Simeon. My heart aches for their families, missing them and Preston this first Thanksgiving. My prayer is that they can feel God's loving arms around them so tightly. This year has made me appreciate every big and small family gathering in a new way. We are so blessed.
