Todays Challenge Topic is:
"What is the hardest thing you have ever experienced"
This post could not have came at a better time! In February 2010, I lost part of my life...My loving Papaw (Lee Peters). I can honestly say, I really do think I was his favorite! I happen to be the first granddaughter (his Blossom-that's what he called me)! This was the first death that I can remember in my family. We have been so blessed! Papaw suffered with dementia very bad for about 4 months. We stayed up (taking turns) 24/7. In the last month of his life he became bed-fast. I was there with him, just about the whole month. I could not leave him! I helped turn him over (240 pound man) in bed, doing it myself at times when others was napping. Doing all this, not knowing that I was two months pregnant (after trying for two and a half years)! We buried him and the next day I became very sick, and found out that I was expecting! What joy this news brought to my family in such a much need way! I can truly say...Papaw's death was the hardest thing I have ever experienced.
Note- I hope to be able to continue the rest of the February challenge...if I miss a few days, please don't hold it against me! (HA)....Thing are about to get very busy around here....Valentine's Day orders are coming in swift!
Stay Tuned!!
Awww, how sad but yet with a happy ending! God knows exactly what we need and when. His timing is always just right too!
