Waiting for the white stuff. The inside looking out I came home from 1 week auto today and by chair car and have not been out since.i am looking forward to seeing a little white outside tomorrow. I feel like it’s like a new blanket of freshness. My stairways are now my new obstacles. Because I have lost so much strength. Having said that I have the caregiverspca,nurses and my physical therapist here ohelping me. I also have had family here and some of my closest and deerest of friends here they are our family. They have been there with us for years aside from that Wonderful friends and people we have some unhealthy people. you all have some hurtful people in our lives too that Weare keeping a wide birth from them for our own serenity. Having said that everyone has these people in their lives a few were family that we helped so much even as we raised our 4 and they caused confusion from their own issues. The so called friends as we found out What’s interesting is after my 1st diagnosis back inMarch 2012 the church’s I belong to St.Josephs in Wakefield and St.Basil retreat house.The Home Depot Corporation and St.Basils Retreat house Methuen plus a beautiful family mine included who are and always will remain our best friends and family pulled off a fundraiser for us for medical or hard ships that we may encounter .Who is ever ready for a terminal diagnosis ?with life and.with children in the college it got a bit scary real quickly. I lost my ability to negotiate my left side, driving and could not work. I sat at that fundraiser looking at the huge lines of people coming to support pport us and 1 saw one by one the people I speak of above made it to my chair beside Janet walked the floor in shock that this was our life Janet greeted everyone with a Thankyou ou and smile which is just the grace that resonates from her at all the times. She is very approachable .All of a the young men who were friendsof my sons that We count as ours had and helped to guide and mentor through grade school and Highschool were all running around helping to run the benefit dressed up insuit clothes. Some of these guys arrived Friday afternoons and went home on Sunday evening. They are great guys.It was Beauty in the midst of life’s chaos. Our friends / Ken and Andrea Bergeron and thier entire family cooked the most beautiful array of foods and worked the kitchen. Andreas and Kennys children ran the auction tickets and because they have a band supplied the music. They were great too One of my friends B.was moving his son all day to a new home in a different State and drove all the way back to partipatein in our event. We had an army of friends there some we knew well some not so well but they all worked non stop side by side to keep things going we had local businesses from Wakefield, Arlington and further contribute items food etc for the success of this effort. My pastor Fr. Ron gave us the use of the new hall, it’s new restrooms and kitchen for free use. Plus arranged for the parking garage to be opened for the overflow that was expected.My friend Bob who came back fro taking care of his sons move because of the nature of his work had access and is friends of big league players some of the raffle itemssubmitted by Bob amounts of the drawing items were items signed by Tom Brady amongst others. What was truly touching to us was as I peared across the hall I saw a lovely women who I used in my business .She is a quality crafts women, person. Mom and breaks her back for her children. She was standing their buying all kinds of raffle tickets. I was glad that she won a few of the gift baskets toottoo. God bless her and everyone’s ho came out to support us. In this life the most important thing that God calls for us is to forgive our debtors those that hurt us and to move on we as a couple all of our lives. We just did not what they had done to feed on us or allow us to hate on them.that would be sinful. But, they stillstung. When we love our families love and they are dealing with utter nonsense that someone is going through meas dados a husband a husband I wanted to address the situation straight on.or husband. Still do unfortunately. But, that is as they say life. It happens each one took their seat and I let Gods peace and love flow from me to them as they stumbled for wordsto say sorry for the past and how can Janet forgive me? I repeated said don’t worry she loves youyou have always been like a sister to her roll forward a short distance and anther one of the girls began nonsense over nothing and the other friend in the group said Don’ t worry we have all had problems where wewe have not taken to her for months.She is a narcasist. Meanwhile the friend from 30 years ago who begged forgiveness totally disappeared. Those are the situations that stunt ions that can steal peace but not for me. I am done I told Janet clear the gate if they show up. This is my blog about real life it’s not a hit job on anyone. We will always love that is Gods calling and we will always forgive but I told Janet do not put up with crap from anyone. Janet’s has always been shy,kind sweet. It’s her easy ness that makes her a target. People who are not in the right place or more hostile seize on people like Janet .They could not do that to me our personalities are different. My parents always said say what you mean, mean what you say.Just don’t be mean when you say it so I am in fact a pro. That’s why no names are listed aside from those who ran my benefit because they truly are the light and life in Christ in our lives that we all need especially during our hardest of days.one of the ladies has been sum what supportive for which I am grateful and have respect for her.She too apparently said to the other women what are you talking Janet has not changed one bit in all the years that-they have known her.See ,we cannot do anyone else’s inventory we never know anyone’s personal history we don’t know the childhood and development mental moments that form the personality that makes the person the person. What I do miss is the one of the girls husbands a whole lot he is the salt of the Earth and a wonderful dadand friend in time I will repair that relationship God willing. He is an innocent victim as well. again Love is the most powerful thing that God gave us. Amen.I honestly hope this inside out perspective of my life’s situation will help another in a similar situation to let themits okay their garage is not yours just let them there’s and own it. Lordknows,we all have them. I want to do my best for any of my blog readers because being in our situationand be locked in your home I need to know its to be okay and youare going to makewillmake it going through the this situation its life people are broken and we all sin. Hopefully this may offer some hope and truehope to you that it’s okay. Keep the faith and keep your peace andThe love-in your heart. To those that I have written about again it is my truth and feelings. I was going to call many times just to arrest the situation.Janet asked me not to so, Ihonored her and I did not but it has been hard. God Bless You and Merry Christmas. As, I await the coming Birthday remember ace of Jesus Miracle birth that saved our lives s from eternal death. I was laying in my new electric bed last night looking at my Christmas tree in the living room it was actually around 4:amI heard this song come on and it reminded me of my mom and my nana loved. God, faiths do they loved Anne Murray. It was so nice to hear. I pulled my blankets up grabbed my side rail and pulled it up tight like I was huggingthem. It gave me such peace a serenity. God bless you all with much love! Justdannyhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3YgTMwiWX5Q
