Just wanted to update you about my "real life".
My sister, Pat, (only 63 years old) passed away on Friday evening. As you can imagine, ever since that call on Friday morning that she was in critical condition in ICU.....things have dramatically changed for me. LONG day on Friday.
Then in the last two days, one of my sisters came from Florida and we have had some good family time together. Yesterday, we gathered as many of the family as possible and had some very good time to remember Pat and be together.
Today we will attempt to clean out Pat's nursing home room and her apartment. It will be a HUGE job. But we are so thankful that all of us (four living sisters) can do it together.
I miss my "cookie life".....but have to put it on hold right now. And in a lot of ways.....put it into perspective. When you face death.....you realize what is most important......God, family, relationships, people, and eternity.
Even though the whole cookie thing is a worthy hobby and ministry......it pales in comparison to life and death.
I'll be back soon.....hopefully with my head and heart on straight....and my priorities right where they should be.
Thanks to all of you for following my blog and being so supportive.
