My Life

This morning, I want to appreciate my beloved. Baby gal and I have been unwell since last Wednesday and literally did not leave the house for 3 days. There is a flu bug that has been doing its rounds and we were hard hit, all we did was sleep and complain of muscle aches and fevers. My beloved , the one man standing in the house handled us so well, with much patience. With our many needs even at the middle of the night when one of us was hot and the other was freezing, he graciously covered and uncovered us with the blankets, gave us medication and while we were left to sleep all day, he had to go to work..poor guy by Friday afternoon, his body couldnt take it and he found himself head flat on his computer, overcome by sleep. Today, we are much better and back to work and school. I truly thank God for a companion, who reminded me that in sickness and in health , he is there. God bless you my love..part of healing is receiving love, and the many hugs and kisses.
