Going Forward With The Past

Wow, I can't believe how long it has been since the last time I updated the family blog. Ray has been dropping hints to me weekly about updating the blog. Everyone has been kind enough not to put direct pressure on me, but it is easy to tell how much my blog has been missed.

I never realized how many peopel looked forward to what I write. I don't consider much of what I say on these pages to me of much importance. Just a simple update to keep the family informed of our comings and goings.

(I guess I should stop here for a minute and give a little warning: If by some strange reason you were left out of the loop of what happened to me last August, please stop right now and read the following article: http://www.mercurynews.com/peninsula/ci_11427040. Otherwise, none of the stuff I talk about from this point on will make no sense to you.)

Thank you to everyone who followed the day by day drama and left notes of encouragement on the Caring Bridge website. Thank you for the cards, the food, the gas money, the prayers, the babysitting, the hugs, the blood donations, the love, the faith and the patience. A HUGE thanks to my mom, Carol and mama Linda. You have no idea how powerful the prayers of a mother can be!

I also wanted to thank the greatest hero in my life- my husband, Ray. Any boy can buy you flowers and chocolates and say 'I love you', but it takes a real man of faith to stand by his dying wife and have the strength to believe everything will be alright, even when all the facts around him said otherwise. That, my friends, is love.

So, now I will attempt to continue where I left off. Forgive me as I rewind to the past in order to catch up to the present. Wish me luck!
