January………….Happy and Sad

Good evening. Friday blog! I am sorry, just have not been in a writing mood. With working again, I am tired early. With walking, it’s a good balance. Four family Birthdays in January. Now with little Rosco, five family members have passed in January, even though little Rosco was a doggie, he was family. So now it is a bittersweet month. My dad has been gone 15 years yesterday. Where does time go? On the 27th, it will be one whole year without Denny! In the beginning, I could not believe my Dad got so sick so fast, congestive heart, COPD, full time oxygen. Then I couldn’t believe Denny was passing in the same month. My mom lost her sister in January also. But, birthdays we always look forward to. A happy time of memories. Then again, death anniversaries bring all kinds of memories also, all of the good ones before their passing. Even little Rosco gave us plenty of memories in his short life. You have to be a doggie person to understand my mentioning him with our human family! I am sure for all of us, we all have our bittersweet months. Once again I get to share how God holds us up with His promises. I do not know how people do it without God. I still have so much sadness! Tears are less! Still moving forward without guilt. One thing I am thankful for, the big queen size bed we slept in had to be removed for the hospital bed. I did not want that big bed for me. I have a nice twin bed, that I love. It also made extra room for all of the extras I enjoy! Sewing and crafts. So, as my family gets through this first month of the new year that brings so many memories! We will hold each other up always! I cannot end this without saying again, grab your loved ones tight, even the fur babies! You do not know what this new year holds for any of us! God is good and in control of all, even when it looks hopeless! Its not! Good night. God bless!❤️🤗🙏🏻🤗❤️
