HAPPY HAPPY NEW YEAR

Well it has happened the year has rolled around again, I am not ready for them to pass as quickly as they seem to now. The older you become or should I say more mature, then the years seem to pass faster and faster. Christmas comes more quickly and then, I take a deep breath and it seems Jan passes quickly and then it is Spring, summer and fall and before you know what is going on the holidays are upon us again. I am not complaining about it being a new year in fact I am really grateful for this new year, and I pray it is a great one for us all. I am not sorry to see the last of 2010, the best thing was the coming of Elle, Scarlet and Amy's getting well. There were a lot of things I could have done without for sure, and I pray we will all love 2011, and great things will come along. One of course will be the birth of Crystal's baby girl, and I pray Amy will become with child before her 3 months passes. We had a wonderful Christmas and I enjoyed our company, and the Christmas time we spent with Judy and children. We always enjoy having family come and we enjoy going to see you all. Ed aka grandpa or Poppi is doing well, in fact he does too much and tires himself out. He goes on Friday to see the PT and maybe she will say he can do the things he does. He wants to go back to the gym to work out and the doctor just said give me 6 weeks and he has used four and is feeling so well that he is BORED with TV, reading, the computer, and the piano. So he tries my patience a little. I hope Patty does let him go the the gym some, and I hope he can get into the pool, then maybe he will be a happier guy. I have some sad news, my beloved sister Sherry, is going to have a chemo drip for 3 months each 2 weeks. Yes the cancer is back, she has a small leasion on the edge of the old tumor scar. So it depends on how the tumor reacts to the treatment. Please keep her in your prayers for me and I pray that this will make her well, and not be too hard on her. She is really scared of the treatment, and probably wouldn't do it if she could just get away with it, but her sons really want her to try it. I guess you never know as Linda was talking to a suvivor of brain cancer for the past 15 years today at her doctor's it was one of their patients. So we can pray that Sherry will be able to take the treatment. I love you all and I am praying for everyone to really enjoy this brand new year we have. God Bless you all

I am sorry about Sherry. BUT- there are miraculous stories as I'm sure you have heard many, of cancer patients that shoudl have died! and didn't! True miracles. The lord won't take her until it's time. It it's not time, he will give her a miracle. He is in charge, not us. I smiled when you talked about grandpa because I can totally picture him getting restless. He does not like to sit around! We need to visit you guys. love you

OH Nellie!! Thanks for your post! I love hearing how things are going at your house and I loved Sharon's post of Christmas at your house!! I'm glad Uncle Ed is recovering well and faster than expected. That is a blessing even though it brings it's own trials. And I will definitely keep Sherry in our prayers. (And Amy too!!) We will add Sherry's boys too. I love you so much and miss you terribly!! :-) Love you!

Oh man- I am SO sorry about your sister! So sad. I will pray for her.

I had to giggle when you said Grandpa is BORED. I'm not surprised at all! He has never been one for sitting around much. teehehe...I'm glad he is getting better though!

I miss you and love you!
