How lucky am I?


There's been so much going on the last three weeks that I'm not even going to attempt complete sentences in paragraphs. In chrono order:
  • Colburn pinned by 400+ lb. motorcycle
  • Right bicep tendon torn from lower arm
  • Emergency trip to Abilene instead of trip to Elgin & San Marcos
  • Next weekend at San Marcos River with kids/grandkids
  • Cold, cold water
  • Annie and Dalton calling me Grandma thus getting anything they want
  • Lukas and Dagan laughing, cuddly and sweet smelling
  • Maggie, Adam, Joanna and Danny are smart, fun and loving to their kids and me
  • Back at the office - produced Trinity Habitat's first Annual Report in 8 years, only their 2nd in 19 years. Got lots of kudos for my work
  • Took time off from work to care for post-op Colburn
  • Lots of pain, his from the surgery, mine from watching him suffer. Fair amount of tears on my part. Lots of gratitude and affection on his part.
  • He gets better every day. Thank God.
  • Five days and five nights together = a real and rare blessing
  • Sweet grandchildren, loving children, and a man who adores me and treats me that way.
How lucky am I?

That "Grandma" trick works every time. Isn't it like icing on the best cake of all?
