Well as many of you may or may not have noticed. I don't post much these days. The last few months have been pretty difficult for me for personal reasons. The days were looking up to some extent, but with work being slow and the numerous lay-offs it has been pretty tense.
Now tomorrow I am traveling back to West Texas to see my 92 year old grand-mother, Agnes Adamson. Agnes (Nana) has been the foundation for our family as long as I can remember. She was a delight to be around, but a no-nonsense attitude concerning morals and I know of no one with a stronger Christian faith. She has survived several falls in her golden years that have resulted in broken arms and hips. She has had what to me would be debilitating arthritis for many years and eye problems that have made her legally blind in one eye and considerably diminished the sight in the other. Now she has developed congestive heart failure and many people don't think that she will make in until Christmas. This is hard to take because despite all her ailments she would still go out an tend to her flowers and mow her lawn this summer. She was just simply amazing to me and now I can't imagine that tomorrow my dad and uncle are putting her in a rest home. It's not right, it's not fair for someone this vivacious to go this way. I will be seeing her for what I feel will be the last time tomorrow until her final days of rest come. I have to go back to work on Thursday. I wish I could take off and spend more time out there with her. As it is, work is so slow I have started living out of my savings account now and most of you know the creditors might understand, but sympathy doesn't keep the lights on.
Anyway, I am just bummed and needed a place to express my self and get some of this off my chest.
Thanks for lending me your ear.
