Yesterday is behind me and I thought it would be hard but it was a great day. Yesterday, September 18th Harlan and I would have celebrated our 60th Wedding Anniversary, 60 years of difficulty and wonder, blessings and hurts. We went through a lot together, nothing is easy but in looking back we were so blessed. Our greatest blessing is our family, Denese, Rick, Sue and Becky, they have been beside us through the last years helping with many difficult decisions that had to be made. I am also blessed with a Heavenly Father that is here and listens to me when I laugh and when I cry.
One of the hardest thing Harlan and I went through was the loss of Son Rob, his death brought us closer together and I believe closer to God. And now as I think back MY most difficult time was the last three plus years, watching Harlan go down hill and I couldn't stop it (no one can). I enjoyed my time with him, he appreciated everything I did for him and he always looked forward to my visits, there were very few days I didn't spend with him, but sometimes twice in one day.
Sundays were special as when he was able to go I took him to church and out for a noon meal, the afternoon was spent taking a nap along side him and maybe watching a game, Twins or Vikings, he seemed to be able to follow them and understood most of the plays.
Yesterday Rick surprised me by showing up in church and I was really very surprised. Then Rick and DeeAnn came to the house and we had a great time visiting. Becky came later and took Denese and me out for dinner we enjoyed wonderful food at Antons. Sue called to see how I was, my family surrounded me with love and support, I am so blessed.
I know many of my blog readers pray for me and I really appreciate you, thanks...........Fran
