I haven't been very faithful posting to this blog recently and thought I would just create a short blurb about what I am up to these days. This picture is of my beautiful sister Jean with my grandson Riker. At the moment Jean is in ICU and I am with her most of the time, taking turns with family to be by her side day and night. This is not an easy time for any of us, especially her three daughters and husband. When I came across this picture it simply reminded me of a time when she was not sick. She loves children of all ages and has devoted her life to raising three remarkable daughters. This week I have been reminded of so many wonderful times we have shared over the years and all the laughs we have enjoyed together. I wish I could hear her laugh again. It is what our family does best and there is often laughter coming from her hospital room. She would want it that way. I suppose it is our way of coping at a time like this. We are praying for divine intervention these days and having said that, we are also very sure that our God is sovereign, wise, all-knowing and as Jean said before she was admitted "in charge of all this"! We are resting in that thought.

What a sweet post and a great picture Mom. I remember that Christmas, all the Auntie's trying to get their hands on that little wiggling bundle of squishy goodness! We're just constantly praying for all of the family in Saskatchewan, Uncle Duane, Hayley, Brooke, Taylor and Auntie Jean specifically, but the rest of you too.

Awesome post Mom! Still praying...
Love, Michele
Ah I love you all so much. I have been thinking a lot about our last "sisters' weekend" when you all came out 3 years ago. I have been doing lots of staring at that tile you all gave me then. I remember the story Jean told me after I opened it about us all having "History". Remember that?
Love you.
Sorry for your loss.
