Walk in Faith...

This flower is for my mom who broke her hip last Wednesday. :-( It makes me very sad for many reasons. We were planning for mom to come to Arizona next week & stay with us for a couple months. I was so excited but now that won't happen...will it ever even happen in the future? Mom ended up needing a partial hip replacement (surgery was Thursday). At 89 years old she has a tough road ahead. Even with rehab will she be able to return to the abilities she had before or ever return to living in her own home again? Time will tell. Tomorrow family will help move mom from the hospital to the nursing home in Elk Horn (my hometown). It's a nice facility and mom will know many of the other residents. Salem Home will also be in charge of mom's rehab sessions. Prayers for my mom, please. It's a difficult time for her & many others. Bob & I will be flying to Iowa in October to spend a week with her. I'm looking forward to giving mom a big hug & just spending time together.

  1. Prayers for your mother and what might occur in her life...I had to come to terms with this decision with both my mother and dad...you do what you can to make them as comfortable as possible and then let God take control...hugs and prayers to you,
    Bob and your brothers and sisters!
