That is definitely a good word to describe today. The day started with me taking M to an appointment before meeting A at a separate location for another appointment. Then M walked to meet us and when I picked her up, I had to drive to yet another appointment. Angelica headed to the rink and then to class. Miracle headed home to babysit and I did laundry. Lots and lots of laundry. It feels good to get so much accomplished. (#413) Angelica said she was happy this evening. (#414) Miracle sorted through photos for her graduation party and we were able to talk about some people who have had a huge part in her life, some who have gone on to be with Jesus and some who are still here on earth. (#415) We both miss Jackie a lot right now. Grief is always hard and sneaks up at the most inopportune moments.
I am really tired and my body aches. I am coughing and beginning to get a fever. Not good. Tomorrow I have to take M to see the cardiologist. Saturday we have two graduations to attend. I need to stay healthy and strong. I can't push through illness like most people do. When I try, the sickness that follows brings my contributions to life to a halt for weeks. Such is life with this disease. Today I am not so OK with the restrictions it places on my life. Please pray for me - my health and my perspective.
