I'm still here...

HI EVERYONE!!!!! I'm still here, alive and well, and I bet you thought I was gone for good? Actually, I'm still in California and I'm soooooooooo homesick. I can't stand it! I hate being away from AB and my fur-babies for this long - it's torture...

I just had to post a little love for my dutch boy who sent me the most beautiful tulips today along with a darling little teddy and love note. It was such a wonderful surprise and I was so overjoyed to open them! Let me share...


Gotta love that man! He never ceases to surprise me. Did I mention that he also showed up here a couple weekends ago by surprise? It was so great to have him here, even if it was only for the weekend. What a treat for me to have him...

Meanwhile, my Dad is still in the hospital and hanging in there. I won't bore you with the medical details, but you can check it out here if you're interested. Please continue to pray for his recovery - he's in need of all the prayers he can get. I forsee coming home very soon. I'm ready to call in for backup. I need to go home - I think my job here is almost done.

On the flip side, I've enjoyed some time with my Mom, who I'm very close to. She's very dear to me and this has been a difficult time for her to watch her love suffer. She's doing ok and I'm trying to be as much support to her as I can. We've still managed to have some laughs and some good times together, despite the drama we're immersed in. We took this shot the other day at the hospital. I love it!

Well, I just wanted to pop in - I feel so out of sorts and so lost on all of your blogs. It's been forever since I've let myself sit down and think about catching up and even now, I feel a little rushed. I've been back and forth to the hospital three times already today and I'm beat. I promise to catch up on all of your lives just as soon as I can. I love you guys - and I love my M3 Posse....you girls are my lifeline and I love each of you so much. I can't wait to get home and play with my gals!

Hope everyone is well!!!!

TTFN!

It's so good to see your smiling face! We miss you SO MUCH...just knowing that you're far away and dealing with so much is hard to think about.
Lots of love and hugs,

I am so glad you got some quality mother/daughter time in the midst of this.

You have a light inside of you that won't be dimmed.

Hurry home, we miss and need you too.

And we love you! Come home soon, with good news. We miss you and are keeping your seat warm. Give your family my love. And tell Anton that I think he is the greatest for sending you those flowers and teddy bear!

P.S. You and your mom look GORGEOUS in that picture.
