HAPPY EASTER AND LIVE LIKE YOU ARE DYING




HAPPY EASTER!!!!!

I have two weeks of school left!!!! I included one of my classroom post. We are required to post 10/week. Anyway....... we were discussing what we would do if were told we had a terminal disease. The majority of the class said they would do nothing differently. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?????



My response:

I believe the truth sets us all free!!! My mother was in end-stage Alzheimer and I could not let her go. Until a hospice nurse sat me down and had a truthful talk with me. She told me to go tell my mother that it is OK to die. Two days later my mother died at peace in her sleep. I do think I would live my life differently if I knew I was terminal. Sad to say but true! I don't know if any of you listen to country music, but one song talks about the doctors telling a man that he was dying and the song goes on to say, "I went sky diving, Rocky Mountain climbing, I went 2.7 seconds on a bull named Phumansue (spell?). I hope that someday you'll get the chance to live like you were dying." (Can't remember the name of the singer) I would quit school, spend time with my husband, children, grandchildren, 94 year-old aunt and family, I would paint the collection that I have always wanted to paint, learn to deep-sea dive, learn to play a guitar, and sing really loud everyday, (even though I can't really sing) I would lay on the beach for days, sleep in the forest for days and nights, I would give deep long hugs to the people I really love and tell those people that I don't like to kiss my ass. I would live like I were dying.

Happy Day!!

Beauty on the beach!!






The new family!!!





My sweet daughter and precious new son-in-law on their special day!




The entire family welcomes Robert with open arms and we also admire that he has had the bravery to take on two of the most complicated female I know! Our thoughts and prayers are with you!

All jokes aside. This was one of the happiest days of my life and I think of Jess, Robert, and Katelyn's life also.
