It is very draining. You two needed to get away for even a little while to refresh your batteries so-to- speak. It was good of you to get away,..you'll come back with more stamina and a clearer view into how to handle things than if you had stayed at home. These times of life sure do tug on our heart strings and emotions though. The love you all share makes life so beautiful though. You take care of yourself. We love hearing from you and will be glad for any little time you have for this blog,..but take care of yourselfs and your family first of course.JodyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-49865007066042017362009-06-22T00:48:32.710-04:002009-06-22T00:48:32.710-04:00Beautiful pictures Vee, and some nice times.

It is a hard time but try to take some comfort for yourself - it is important to keep your strength up or you are no good to anyone (that is what I always told my Mom when she was worn out and she always said she felt better after a good nap or a little break from the stress). Best wishes to your mom and grandma for recovery. xo TerriWindlosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17014227226507484798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-59550038258415534652009-06-21T20:52:02.203-04:002009-06-21T20:52:02.203-04:00Vee,

I know how hard it is to take some time out (I spent a few weeks going back and forth to a hospital/nursing home myself last summer) but the old cliche rings true about self-care--if an emergency happens when flying you put the oxygen mask on yourself first so you can more readily take care of others. Dear Vee, I don't see a martyr at all but a loving, devoted daughter/granddaugher. I look forward to hearing from you now and then but please know you are daily in my prayers. ~KathyKathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12359123604840243466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4152193618785368659.post-5772452632207103972009-06-18T19:48:10.979-04:002009-06-18T19:48:10.979-04:00Caramel Caribou--two thumbs up!
