It’s been a
while. Christmas break turned out to be not what I expected.
The expected
part was perfectly lovely. I was able to attend church on the 22nd
and read the Advent Candle liturgy. On the 24th there was a late
afternoon Christmas Eve service. On Wednesday, my son and I went over to Christmas
Day brunch and opening presents at the Hemminger household. That was wonderful. The grandkids had all been
sick a week or two before, but now everyone was doing fine except Benjamin, who
was still tired and droopy.
Unfortunately,
it seems that invisible viruses were still lingering around. I got sick the
next evening and Joseph the following morning.
It’s been
rather rugged, but both of us are on the mend now and hope to be back to almost
normal by tomorrow.
Friday
morning, I put out a “please pray” post on Facebook that received so many encouraging
comments and promises to pray. Dana picked up some flu supplies for us Friday
morning, and Sylvia came by Saturday afternoon to deliver more. (I must
remember to always keep chicken noodle soup and 7Up or Sprite on hand in the
future.)
I’m grateful
for the prayers, encouragement, and help. And I’m still hoping to have a week
of feeling good before my last chemotherapy treatment on January 8.
