Memories

 While I have been coloring, puzzling, crocheting, etc. I have been having a lot of flash back type memories.  My mind will wonder a bit and I feel like I am 15-20 years (more or less) back, on a road somewhere in the North West, turning the curves, looking out at the dark forest or coast line.  Other times it could be any down town area in a huge city or a small village/town.  I actually have to look up and feel that I get a clear glance, like I was actually there.

I also have been thinking a lot about Ron... things we have seen and people we have met.  We did so much together.  Had sooo much fun.  I was not always the "met no stranger type" person, but I believe I have become that type person from Ron.  If only I had become that person earlier in my life.

I wish I was healthy, able to get out and help others.  Maybe I should have done more for others as I was healthier.  But, that is the past and we can't change that.  I need to just do my best from where I am not, at this time.  I am hoping that from my cancer they can learn something that will help/guide another patient.

Visit

I am so happy that I was able to visit with my sister in Indiana this last weekend.

I have not been very good health wise these last few weeks and it was possible that the weather would not allow us to travel.  And my sister seems to be getting worse health wise too.  I was afraid that I would not be able to see/hug her before she passed. 

This is my sister that has always been like my mom.  And she and her husband had/have been like grandparents to our kids.  She is in the care  center and in the medical section.  She does not recognize me and in this trip she slept most of the time.  She is not doing well and I feel her final journey is near.  I was able to feed her and sit with her...to tell her how much I loved her.

It didn't matter that she was asleep most of the time and didn't interact with me.  I read and colored and was there if she needed me for anything.  This visit really was more for me.  I needed to see her and hug her and be ready to say good by.
