I've relaxed most of the day and simply enjoyed being alone. On the saturday mornings when hubby golfs, being alone is a great joy of mine. I do exactly what I want to do. If the phone rings, I may answer or I may not. (sorry friends). I like to read, watch movies, or nap on these mornings. Times like these make me more aware of my becoming more selfish with my time.
I've spent more time reflecting on life.

Family is important to me, and being so far away from my extended family sometimes consumes my every thought...just as it has these past 3 weeks.

Pa is my dad, daddy, father, friend, co-worker, etc. He has taught me how to be independent, responsibility, and the meaning of helping others. He is very thoughtful. He is 83 years old but very young at heart. He is my dad.

God blesses in many ways; some of which I have experienced recently. Realizing now that His plan was already in action before I knew makes my love for Him greater. He loves us unconditionally and wishes us His best.

Long story short...Found a terrific flight ticket home ($78), Dad fell 2 days prior to visit, ER, CAT, GP, MRI, NEURO, CTA, CARDIO, HT monitor, NEURO, ECHO, VASCULAR surgeon, ANGIOGRAM (next week), and possibly surgery the next.

I was blessed to be with my dad through most of this health process. I am blessed to have a mother, sister and brother who keep me well informed. I am blessed to have a husband who takes care of me and my emotional needs and encourages me to go home anytime.

I am blessed.
