What a time of heartbreak!~

My kids paternal grandma got sick and the last month has been a nightmare. She passed away last Saturday. Our friends David and Diann had a son named Dee and he died last week of a brain aneurysm. The funeral was Thursday. Last Sunday night my nephew (19 yrs old) committed suicide. The funeral was this week. His mom is so sickly and very near her own time as it is and this was almost the final straw for her. Neighbors down the road from the store lost their son too and his funeral was last Saturday. It seems like I cooked food day and night this last week for funerals or to send to the hospital waiting room. By Sunday this week I was on crash and burn.

Grandma Pug's funeral is this Thursday. I just keep praying my way thru it all.

The computer crashed yesterday. Been having problems with it. Took it to the Shawnee Computer Hospital late yesterday. The guys there are so awesome. The had it ready to go at 7:30a.m. this morning. There were grandma pictures on there that my daughter wanted for the funeral collage. I got the puter home and emailed the pics to her so she has them now. Whew. SCH techo guys told me I probably need to upgrade to a new computer tower. I will no longer do the Facebook/Twitter social networking. It is far to easy to get hit by a virus. This is the third crash we've had to deal with in the last 9 months.

I draw strength in all this heartbreak from the knowledge that There is a God. That there is a heaven and that Jesus saves. I am so thankful for that spiritual confidence and I am so blessed to know that my son and my daughter and my grandchildren are Christian's. They are not as active in church as they should be, but, Oh, "thank God", the are praying people and children. They could not have survived all this without him. The other members of Grandma's family are really struggling with this loss.
