It has been a wonderful week! Everyone is home and it is spring break! We have just enjoyed being home and not doing anything! Relaxing together! The boys are getting a little stir crazy, so tonight we plan to go late night bowling (I couldn't believe how excited they were for that!) and tomorrow we'll probably go see a movie -- we all have free tickets so it'll be cheap fun. We would like to go to the zoo or the aquarium, but that over a hundred bucks or so after it's all been said and done, but here in the Pacific Northwest we have our wonderful rain that does not seem to want to disappear! :)
Been struggling with life "going on". Back home life goes on and continues to be busy and chaotic and all the good things that are involved in that! And my life with my family goes on here -- in away I feel like each of us is missing out....and I really feel for my Dad, who is missing out! Missing his memory, missing his home, missing his family, missing familiarity! I feel guilty that my life continues, and in a way I feel like I've just allowed him to be shut away and forgotten about in the nursing home. Though I do know that that is the best place for him to be, the last several nights I lay awake at night feeling like I'm grieving again -- Alzheimer's kills in stages....
Today I am thankful that I can trust the Lord with all of those I love and with all the situations that weigh heavily on my heart! I know that the power that raised Christ from the dead, healed the sick and lame is still just as powerful today and I can rest in Him, knowing that He is in control.
