Catching up!.!.

So it is almost Christmas and this will truly be one of the most different Christmases. Melissa and Noah will be leaving to live in Rexburg Idaho soon and that will make 2 children living far away and 4 grand children
living far away. I am so happy for them though because Noah can go forward to his educatonal goals and find a good job. I will miss them so so very much that I can't even think about it.
My sister Joyce passed away Sunday which is hard but I am so happy for her to be able to be free of her illness. Mental illness is a hard thing to live with for so long. To make it worse she lived so far away it was diffacult to
be there very much. We were able to visit her 2 months ago and she was not good then, but she was able to see mom again and my sister and I, I knew then she wasn't going to be with us very long.
We will miss her and pray for her adjustment to a new wonderful place with our dad and many other relatives.
Our visit to Omaha was very nice and mom went with us and she did amazingly well. Our Emelia is beautiful. We just loved her and held her and enjoyed every min. Sara and Brian took such good care of us we thank them so much and love them.
