I have not written in awhile. Chemo has been rough, plus I have been to Utah and April was here for a week. I have had much support from family and friends, and prayer gets me through almost every day. I am pretty weak, and that is discouraging at times...but the love and prayers and support from so many seems to sustain me and keeps me going.
Yesterday my oldest son and his wife spent the night and day with us. We all went to church together and it was so wonderful. Sometimes I look at my life and realize I do not have my health...and we don't have tons of money...but all the important things in life I have in great abundance. I have my faith...which is paramount. I have a wonderful, close family that would do anything for each other...a family of honest, upright children who chose the right and are Christlike in all their actions. I am married to a very moral and kind man who always thinks about others before he thinks about himself..a man that can look himself in the mirror each day and know he is living the way God wants him to live.
I also have so many wonderful friends...who call me or send me cards...who make dinner for me and come to see me. It is truly wonderful. Just this morning I had a dealing with someone who has little, if any moral character, and I wonder how they live with themselves on a day to day basis. So sad to me. If you cannot look in the mirror and say you treat others the way you want to be treated, then how do you wake up to yourselves each day? How to people live always trying to be one up on another person? It is just foreign to me.
Oh well...I just need to make sure my own heart is in the right place, and forgive these people. They know not what they do... Thank you Heavenly Father for your many, many blessings!!!

Hi EdieKaye,
I've really missed you. Even though you're home, I know you've been feeling played out, and I've sort of backed off to give you your queit time. I was overjoyed to see you at our personal history group on Monday, but I tried not to be loud and overt about it. ALL of us, I know felt the same way. Thank you over and over again for getting us started on this monumental and oh so necessary project. What a joy it is to have even that time on a Monday morning to sit quietly with friends and be transported to other places and times... so completely, so thoroughly that when looking up from the paper at times I have to pull myself back from where and when I've been.
Again, thank you.
Love you,
Phyllis
Hey Edie Kaye!
Thinking about you and wishing we had remained in each others lives all these years. You and your family were/are a positive influence on my kids and I let others keep me from continuing that connection.
We both have an appreciation for family and having come from a very close,warm and supportive one myself I do so recognize and appreciate that in others as well. Be kind to yourself and get yourself a big ol'bear hug from your hubby. That can bring lots of soothing comfort on a rough day!
(Can you figure how two brothers can be so, so different?)
Take care,
Dorene
