Life

Tuesday morning I was just about to make an entry in Princess, when it all froze up on me! My very own web page rejected me! I just knew it was me and I tried everything, but nothing worked. I fell into despair!
No one could fix it but my dear divinereality! And I am sending out a Big Thank You!!!
Tuesday Evening:
The phone rang. A very old and dear friend of ours was calling from Texas. He was in the non affected area of Texas.
He said, “Guess what? I’m coming to New Hampshire tomorrow.”
“Where are you staying, who is meeting you at the plane?” I asked.
“I don’t know.”
Now this gentleman is 87 years old. He has know Hubby since Hubby went to Germany to work in the late 1960’s. When Hubby and I first got married he lived with us and helped care for our pets while I traveled around the world with Hubby. So he is very dear to us in many, many ways.
“We’ll be at the airport and you’re staying with us!” I said.


I was not prepared for what I have seen since he got here. He arrived with just a small case and one shoe. The other foot is in a walking cast because he has had such a bad infection that he nearly lost the foot a month ago. He wore a suit, white shirt and tie, but it all hung on his 6 foot 5 inch frame. This man is now a mere 165 pounds. He has almost no teeth. He talks on and on and on and on. Something that is relatively new. He used to be a very quiet and reserved person. And he repeats himself over and over.
He has two sons. They are well know Theologians. They’ve written books on the “love of Christ”.
Well, I will borrow a phrase from Casey. I would like to bitch slap them both for neglecting their Dad the way they have.
I hope when I get to be 87, (If I do) that people will at least be kind and help me to help myself.
Right now I am cooking up a storm to feed him up a little. I want him sleeping and resting and letting me take care of him, just a little.

  1. You are such a good soul! I wouldn’t bash all Christians, but if you remember the Bible at all, the ones who are putting on the “Big Show” are not what God is looking for in His followers. So I don’t consider those types of folks “Christians”. *stepping down off of soapbox*
