My Aunt Roberta

I have the sweetest aunt there ever was.  Her name is Roberta.  She is the youngest of Mom's family.  She grew up on a farm, married a soldier and raised a family.  Her husband has since passed and left her to live alone.  Her pets as her companions.  She has a daughter, Robin and son in law Charles who is close by.  It's funny that we live our lives and even though we may live close to someone we are far away more so than someone who is separated by miles.  That's just the way life is now a days.

My Aunt Roberta has a rare blood disease and if it weren't for Mom she may have been gone by now.  The Dr's got to her in time and diagnosed the sickness.  She is undergoing treatment and hopefully will feel better soon.  She doesn't feel good now though.  I ask all who read this to pray for her.  She is sweet and good and if you know her or ever meet her you will know I speak the truth.  I wish there was more I could do to help but prayer is strong and I lift her up and ask all I know to do the same everywhere.  This will be seen all over the world.  Help my Aunt Roberta.

Family Ties

I found out my Aunt Roberta is in the hospital in Charleston SC.  Mom and my sister went to Fayetteville where she lives and took here back home to help here get well.  She had been sick since Christmas.  The doctors said her kidneys had stopped working and she has had to go on dialysis.  This is very bad news and worries me.  I like her and pray that she gets well soon.  My Mom will see to it that she takes the right course for treatment and stays the course to wellness.  Mom has a lot on her shoulders with our family.

Starting off A New Year

Here I am starting off a new year.  Some of my friends have past on last year.  I thought back to the times I spent with them.  The thoughts were like watching old newsreels.  I had old memories and places in my mind I hadn't seen in years.  I once tried to write a book about my life but when I started it was too painful.

I don't do New Year resolutions.  I think they are kind of silly.  How many people really keep them?  I have never know of any.  If you are going to stop doing something or start doing something you will.  Most of the time it is about changing your lifestyle.  Nuff  said on that.

I hope to make new friends and to enjoy my life more.  There is a song that says if I could go back in time the first thing I'd change is me.  That hit me hard.  I love my family so very much.  First there is my wife, Sherry.  I love my sons.  I love my step daughter and grand children.  I found my Mom and sisters this past year and I love them oh so very much.  I got Aunts and Uncles that I can't remember their names yet but I'm working on that one.  I hope I can spend more time with Momma.

I hope to get out and do some of the things I did in the past that gave me joy like fishing and target shooting.  I can't ride a motorcycle much anymore but I can go short distances.  I hurt though.  I like to get out and work in the yard and tinker with stuff.  I got an old 76 Chevy truck that I like.  It's fun to drive but looks bad.

I tell ya, for someone who doesn't like New Years resolutions I have been hitting the nail on the head mighty close.  I might be writing a doable bucket list.
