the past few weeks

2 weeks ago i got a call from my sister that my mom was quite sick and in the hospital.  after much back and forth, tests and drs...then a wait...my mom was taken in for surgery to have her gallstone removed.  after not eating for 5 days!  and with the out break of covid in n.s, mom was alone the whole time.  but! shes doing much better and is home resting!  the girls and i prayed for her often.  

flowers from another man! what? ha!  rick showed up a few wks back with flowers for me! they are STILL alive! so beautiful and thoughtful!  thanks rick!
