This past
year of 2017, has had its many ups and downs.
It started
out with joy… The announcement of one of our granddaughters sending us a save
the day, for her wedding. It was going to be in August… We had plan on a trip
to the kids on the coast.. so this fit in fine with our plans. As we had
promise a return trip for a remodel of one of the boy’s garage. This is was wonderful….
And after
having a hellish year of 2015 and 2016… we were looking forward to some joy in
our lives.
But we
found out that fate was not done with us yet…. Because in May we lost our
oldest daughter.. no warning.. She had a cold but that was all and because she
was working even with the cold.. she was getting run down.. but was on a 3 or 4
days off section, so was mending from that.. But one night… she was in her
yard.. took a picture of a rose I had gave her the year before.. That it had bloomed.. she was so thrilled… I
cherish that picture… because it was the last picture she took and put on
Facebook… as with in an hour later she
was walking across her lawn and suffered a massive heart attack. Her neighbors called
911 as there was no one home.
June
brought her celebration of life… So many people came so many tribute her in her
good deeds of life… While a parent is proud of their child.. a parent doesn’t
expect to hear it at a celebration of life… and a great life she did have.. and
so many she had helped over the years..
She was 56.. TOO YOUNG…
And fate
wasn’t done yet…. As also in May, my son in law found out he has cancer… so
long sessions of chemo in the future.. and add to that, his sister is fighting
cancer as well…
In August,
as planned we attend a wonderful.. wonderful wedding of our granddaughter.. a
great day in deed. Then a few days we were
on our way to our son’s to help with the remodel… Wonderful great memories,
built as well, with the whole family.
The fall
brought hunting season.. and produce a
deer and later an elk for the King… and
we celebrated Thanksgiving with family….
Heading in
to Christmas, we had snow come in for an early visit.. adding 15 inches in 12
hours.. Snow blowing and plowing and shoveling… All part of living in Idaho
Yep…a true
up and down years… may 2018 treat us all well … and continuing good health for
all of us.. especially the ones still fighting cancer in our family…
