"I don't want to close my eyes
and I don't want to fall asleep,
'cause I don't want to miss a thing."
and I don't want to fall asleep,
'cause I don't want to miss a thing."
I love this old song by Aerosmith, and it's totally the way I feel. I don't want to miss any of this ride around the sun. I bet you feel the same way.
Last Saturday we "fetched" Princess and Boudxy and now we are all once again under the same roof, as we should be. *sigh of relief and thanksgiving* It is as though no time has passed and we are simply moving on as we were all along. God is truly the "Healer".
We had no sooner loaded Princess and Boudxy into our car when my phone rang. It was my sister telling me Mom had been taken to the hospital with a possible heart attack, but the emergency was over and she was resting well and waiting for test results. Thankfully, her tests came back showing no damage to her heart and she was released from the hospital on Monday.
Sooooo, Princess and I made the drive to Oklahoma to spend the week with Mom as she was recouperating at home. The week was not without some obstacles (2 more ER visits), and Mom has some serious challenges ahead, all of which serve to remind me once again of just how precious time is, and it's so true, "I don't want to miss a thing".
We are heading back to Oklahoma for the holiday week. I wish you all a very happy Thanksgiving, and let us all be mindful not "to miss a thing".
