On tuesday's I go to a  grief support group. Last night our speaker told us how healing it was for him to journal. While i have given this serious conderation, i am more prone to blogging here online.
On 2-21-2012, it was a year since I took Everett to the doctor and ultimately to the hospital for his illness. As most know that know me well, he was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer on March 3, 2011.
He passed away on June 18, 2011 just shy of 4 months after his first hospital admission.
He made the decision to have his body donated to UAB instead of having a funeral.
Sometime in the coming 4 months, his remains will be sent back to me.
I know God gives me comfort in the hardest of times.
Love your friends and family and make sure they know how you feel about them. One day, you will be faced with either wishing you had said or done more or you will be thankful for the relationship you had.
May God bless and keep you.

RIP precious Everett!

Sometimes i foster for all breed rescues. Not long ago, i took in a foster dachshund/beagle mix. She is 2 years old and is just precious. She is and active girl but will lay down and snooze too. She is housebroke. I do have a doggie door but she does seem to know to let you know she has to go out if the doggie door is closed. We are learning each other. Her name is Camry. She was rescued from a shelter after her person/family dumped her there. I have no idea why she was dumped but i am sure it was for no good reason at all. If anyone is interested in her, they can contact me thru my blog here. I will then direct them to the rescue that is responsible for her.

just thinking

During the past 7 months, i have learned exactly who my friends are. Actually i knew who most were but have learned that an old friend is one of the best. I am leaving out names here to protect feelings and identity.
I had an awesome day today and accomplished a lot.
I did learn something from the Lord. I know he is my redeemer and i am solely reliable on Him and none other. I can't do anything alone. I can only do all WITH HIM.
I do sort of feel defeated in a task i have tried to accomplish that past 6-8 weeks. However while the door isn't closed on that task, i don't feel in my heart that it will come to fruition. But whatever God's will for my life is, i am happy with it because He knows best.
"Thank you Father for the love you have not only for me but for those that love you and follow you. You have our best interest at heart and only want the best for us. Thank you for forgiveness, grace, and mercy. You have blessed me beyond belief. I am humbled. In Jesus name, Amen."
