Picture This

 I'm with my parents.  My father is in the hospital.
Each night, my mother and I travel about 45 miles back to their home.


 She is surrounded by photos there.

 While eating breakfast or when eating a snack in the evening,
 she struggles to put names with the faces...to remember.

 Generations blur.  But love ignites her heart.

 Above, my mother.  Below,  her grandmother!

 Above, a four generation picture.  That's me - the child on my grandmother's lap.

Mother and Dad.

  3. Keeping you all in my prayers. A difficult time for sure, with your mother just out of the hospital and now your father in the hospital.
    You are blessed with wonderful parents, and I am sure it is hard watching them suffer the ailments of old age.

    Blessings to you,

  8. Morning Rebecca,
    Wow, what a treasury of good memories......
    So sorry to hear your father is now in the hospital, will surely be praying it is not
    anything too serious. That must be especially hard on your Mom since she just go out of the hospital herself.....and I am sure on you too. Those sorts of things are just so stressful and tiring all the running back and forth, and the not knowing!

    Will sure keep you all in my prayers.
    Love and Blessings Hon,
    Nellie

  11. The faithfulness of God from generation to generation. It reminds me of a ceremony at a convention. 4 generations, passing a torch while a group sang, "I will carry the torch from generation to generation." I'm praying for you as you care for the ones who taught you about our God.
