They OR people are about to come get my dad. It’s about 11AM. So, that means the surgery will be underway in the next couple of hours. The surgery will be around 6-8 hours long. It’s different every time. Dad met with the surgeon this morning, and he informed my dad that they will be going in through his side, instead of cutting open his original scar. We are glad about that! I am getting close to tears, so that’s…
I am all packed. I am ready to go. I am waiting for relief to come so I can leave for Philly/NJ! (Relief for the babes, I mean!) Chail and I had a fun day of running errands and getting things done so Auntie can leave today! (Ok, I am going to stop talking like a KG teacher now.) My dad checks in the hospital today at 3PM. They are going to do some testing, get his cumodin (sp?) levels…
Hello everyone!Thank you for praying for our family! Thank you for praying for my precious daddy and his heart! My dad has the most giving, forgiving, loving, and huge heart out of any man I know. It hurts my own heart to watch him go through yet another physical heart surgery. It seems ironic to me that the man with the purest heart I know has had to have so many physical heart operations. I 100% wish I could go…
You think I am kidding. I am not. Hi. My name is Abby and I’m a bread addict. For quite awhile now, one of my dear BFF’s, Caleb, has been talking to me about my diet. He has been concerned about my “issues”. You all know my issues. Why try to hide it? It’s the facts of life, people. Along with him my mom, brother, and sister-in-law have voiced concerns. Fine. So…coached by Caleb, I decided to TRY a new…
The ridiculously long drive TOGETHER from MN all the way to PA! Father put together all my new furniture when the fam visited me here over Labor Day! He can build or fix ANYthing! I miss my Daddy. I wish I could see him before his surgery. I wish that wasn’t the next event that was bringing us together. It is what it is. We’re pressing on. One day at a time…
I am feeling very much like a knitted scarf lately. God is taking seemingly very different pieces of yarn (themes, if you will) and weaving them all together. At first glance, the yarn (themes) do not seem to match, or go together at all. But, as I reflect on all these colors of my life that He’s weaving, I am continually reminded that I am finite. My mind is finite. My heart is finite. I am continually reminded that He…
What my mom wants most for her birthday…we all love you, Mother! Happy Birthday!
Yes. You’re seeing right! I took this with my phone…we’re laying on the couch. We do this every day. He turns his face and I lay my face next to his, and we just snuggle. I finally got a picture of it with my phone! :0) Am I the luckiest Auntie in all the world, or what?!
I am so excited tonight, that I do not think I am gonna be able to fall asleep! (Hopefully my “sleepy tunes” playlist on my new, hot pink, nano will help! And yes, to you, and you know who you are, who abhor playlists…YES. I said it.) Yesterday, I took my lil Punka for a walk to Hallmark. Ah…bliss. I just adore that store. It was close to 80 degrees, I was in my capris, and t-shirt, and Hallmark has…
