Hi there, Mike!
Glad to hear you've a bit of fellowship, Mike, and that you and
Brad are trying to be peaceable. I've mostly abandoned online
activity for now, busy with winter preparations and caring for
everything, everyone. I still have my small forum waiting, and
may return there when things settle a bit. IF things settle.
I drove to see my 84-year old parents this past Friday, stayed
Sat. and Sun., then drove home. I missed the days when Kevin
would drive and I could just relax while viewing the world
flying by. I had to drive the entire trip, and I was so tired,
a 10-hour trip took 24 hours. Had to stop a million times.
Couldn't go to a motel because we were hauling a big load that
my dad sent me home with. He'll be leaving his house eventually
to join my mom at the nursing home. He is still quite sharp,
and very spry for his age, but his vision problems will soon end
his days of driving and independence. I brought home two lovely
desks that he made with his own hands, so his spirit lives in
that wood. :) My mom seemed in good spirits, was making jokes,
and the home seemed to have friendly help. Was sad to leave,
not knowing if I'll ever go back. But was so good to see them.
To share those bittersweet hugs.
Kevin has stopped the antibiotics with all the side-effects.
He's not feeling much better even so, but we'll try some dietary
adjustments. I don't know if he will ever regain strength and
be well. But I'll be here for him whatever comes. The world
was so busy and so full of semi trucks and traffic, it
reinforced what a blessing the farm is and how lucky I am to
have my own little space in a quiet, secluded place. One day,
one sunrise at a time on this journey, and I try not to ask,
"Why all this suffering?" but only, "How can I ease the
suffering?" Will seek what light we can find in every darkness,
knowing God holds us as we draw closer to that final destination
with Him. I fear sometimes everyone I love is leaving me, but
must remember thee One who loves me promised to be with me,
always. Perhaps healing may still find my husband. Not giving
up. It's not over, and even when it's over it's just beginning,
though we say our temporary goodbyes.
Say hello to the others if you will, and share the above update
if you wish. Am happy to hear from you, and that you are
healing. Stay in touch, and my love across the many, many
miles. <3
~ Nancy

That was nice to get an update Mike. They are often " on my
heart" never forgotten.
The email does tend to leave us feeling very helpless and
unable to support them in any real meaningful way. :'(
I'm so glad that she can still " see beyond" and hold the
Goal.

She has a pretty good attitude despite her troubles. She has
my prayers.

My wife tries to stay in regular touch, but Nancy is busy as we
can all imagine with Kevin to care for as well as her many
animals. Even on her own forum, Nancy is often an infrequent
visitor. Keep them in our prayers!
