This In Not How I Planned to Spend Valentine’s Day!

For those of you who have been following my life this past week, thank you. Our dear friend, neighbour, and surrogate grandmother to my boys has been pulled off all forms of life support and the prayer now is that hospice will work swiftly and bring her home to pass away. I do not know what is in store for me in the coming days. If our sweet neighbour holds on and comes home, I will be there to help care for her until the very end. My heart is breaking for her and her family. My husband, our sons, and myself are getting ready to head to hospital to say our goodbyes. Should she be allowed her wish to die at home, we will be with her and I will be adding in her care. My only request is for prayers and good thoughts for the family and for a peaceful passing for Rosella, when the time comes. My many thanks to all my faithful readers. I do apologise for not making bloggy rounds as I should. I have not forgotten any of you.

As I keep saying over and over on my blog, life is too short and too precious. Do not waste it worrying about looks, size (oh I am so weary of hearing “…if I could lose x amount of pounds, then I will…“). Live now! Do not worry about what you do not have. Look inward at what you do have! Hold those you love close to you. Tell them you love them, ring them up, send a card, do whatever is necessary, now! Do not wait until it is too late!

Let the 24 Hour Read-A-Thon Begin

Today is the day! The Read-a-thon has begun and I am down sick. I had hoped my first 24 hour Read-a-thon would be memorable, but not for being ill. I will attempt to stay awake and get some reading done. I pushed my list of what I had planned to read aside since, well, my body has chosen to revolt against me. I took something for my fever and I am beginning, late, but at lest I am beginning. I do not honestly think I will make it through my first book, but I am going to try!
