DUH!!! i forgot to let "all" my blog friends know i will be away for just a bit. I am here in ruidoso with my in laws. we thought we would come out for the week and do a whole lot of nothing. its wednesday and we are doing exactly that nothing.
i have gotten some sad news from home. my grandma lipa has taken a turn for the worse and is now at a hospice facility. my grandma is 92 years old and has lived a long full life and at times you can say a hard life. i keep thinking about all the hard work, time, love, and money my grandparents put into their family immediate and extended. To be some one looking in from the outside i see that my grandma did all that for nothing. She allowed people to walk all over her and never allowed the "right" people to walk along side her. my thinking is all those people should be able to wake every morning and be thankful to have had her in their life, to wake and be a better person for having her in their life and to want to be there holding her hand until she cant anymore. it angers me the more i think about it and i try not to do it often. i have always believed grandparents deserve so much more than that kind of life. they are the reason we are here they started it all and we should show them we are thankful for that. i truly believe my grandma will eventually be going home to be with the Lord because he needs her more in heaven than we do here on earth. who knows maybe he's a little tired of seeing the way she has been treated. i love my grandma and there is no doubt in my mind she knew that. i pray she no longer suffers any pain and from here on out she is full of love and joy getting ready to meet her maker.
i wish i had my pictures on my laptop so i could post a picture of my grandma lipa. a few weeks ago i had taken one of her holding sunnie. she would tell me "what a pretty baby is it a boy?" i would say, " no grandma she's a girl." then a few minutes would pass and she would ask me again. she would also tell me sunnie looked like a little doll. of course all that was said in spanish but i can barely speak spanish much less spell.

She sounds like a wonderful women. She is very lucky to have a granddaughter like you who really loves her. Everyone should be so lucky.
