I want this year to be over already. When i think i have made it through the bad part something even worse happens. Now i feel like I'm not living my life I'm just getting through it. I thought that my son being in prison was one of the worse things i have ever been through, but God showed me that it can be worse. First my mom got sick and was in the hospital. She became very confused and weak. While in the confused state she climbed over the rails of the hospital bed and fall, breaking her arm. She was transported to another hospital for surgery. She had to have 5 pints of blood before they could fix her arm. So she laid there for 2 days with the bone sticking out of her arm. Well she got the surg and was on the mend. Came home for 2 days and the confusion came back. Back to the hospital this was on a Thursday. The next morning 2am the phone rings all i could think was what happened to mom. But it was my oldest son saying that Lila (his 3 month old daughter) isn't breathing and we need to go to the hospital. They worked very hard to bring her back, but God needed her more. The coriner said she aspirated on formula about an hour after her feeding. She never even made a sound.
So now my mom is getting some rehab for her arm. Hopefully she will get to come home in a week. My son and his wife are trying to cope with the grief and i am trying to always remember it can get worse.
That that don't kill me only makes me stronger!!!

Do Not Lose Heart

Therefore we do not lose heart.
Though outwardly we are wasting away,
yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.
For our light and momentary troubles
are achieving for us an eternal glory
that far outweighs them all.
So we fix our eyes not on what is seen,
but on what is unseen.
For what is seen is temporary,
but what is unseen is eternal.
--2 Corinthians 4:16-18

It's prayers and faith that keep me sane. I will say extra prayers for you and your family. Life is full of sadness and heartache. I get so scared when I think that the happiest times of my life have passed me by. But I know that I have to find some happiness somewhere so I think about our reward in the afterlife. I hope your family receives God's healing. Please pm me if you ever need someone to talk with or just listen. My life has had a lot of tragedy but I refuse to give up!

Isaiah 40:28-29. Have you not known ? Have you not heard ?
The Everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth,
Neither faints nor is weary. His understanding is unsearchable. He
gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might He increases strength.

Dereks mom... prayers being said. I pray this scripture for you and your family.
