THANKFUL THEY LIVE NEAR.

 How I wish each family could live this close to us and we could be a part of all the grandkids activities.   I consider myself a worrier......and Shad would always say to me, "You can't tell me your worrying doesn't help.....all the things you have worried about never happen."  Well, that statement is no longer true.  Something that I always worried about ( and I am not saying that we have it so bad....because a lot of people have it so much worse than we do....and we are so blessed that Andrea is still with us.) did happen.  One of my greatest fears.  The thing that scared me so badly stuck such fear in me that I stopped having  children....it has happened, and it is worse than I imagined.  Needless to say...the tears still flow and I feel like I must do something to make myself look at the many blessings our family still is blessed with.  I may express other feelings....but the heading for each day will be something I am grateful for.  The gospel teaches us to be grateful....and I need all the blessings I can receive so each day....I will be grateful for something.
