Musings on the Lake

Well, today would have been my daddy's 80th birthday. It's been more than 26 years since I last saw him. Man, how I miss him. It hit me harder for this birthday. Maybe it's because I'm now an orphan and don't have my parents to hug me anymore. My daddy was so special to me. I was very much a daddy's girl, and I loved it. Days like today make me sad that my children never knew him. He loved kids and would have loved being with David and Sarah. Daddy, I love you!

Today would have been Mama's 80th birthday. I wish she was here to hug. She's been gone a little over 5 months. And... Charlie has gone downhill in that short span of time. I keep wondering what I'm supposed to be doing. Poor Charlie is lost, confused and physically spent. I thought when she died that I'd be checking on him, but it's become more than that. I must trust in Jesus to supply what I need to get through this struggle. Dear Jesus, show me Your way. Let me trust in You to take care of my needs.
