		<description>I hope wedding is close by!  Our son was married last year in Virginia and I must say that after having weddings for our two daughters, the son&#039;s wedding was a breeze by comparison, even a six-hour drive away.    ENJOY, indeed!

		<description>It seems things have gotten a little better recently. I&#039;m hoping that&#039;s a new trend that continues for a while. On the positive side, I have my youngest son&#039;s wedding coming up soon that I&#039;m looking forward to.

Thanks for stopping by.</description>

		<description>I am so sorry!  It sounds familiar.  You think it can&#039;t get any worse...but then it does.  

So difficult. . . and so scary.  I know the frustration of the distance.

One of my friends swears that she&#039;s going to hire a big bus. . . .

		<description>I&#039;m sorry to hear about your bad news. I&#039;ve been busy and absent from blogging myself for quite a while, but that&#039;s been because of my work and me working on my degree. 

In a way I know how you feel, because my father is living in another country and he&#039;s not been well. No one in my family has his address and recently he turned off his phone. There is no way for us to know if he is ok, unless he chooses to contact us, which worries me. Even though you know that nobody lives forever and the day will eventully come when you have to say goodbye to you parents, it kind of feels like the day comes too soon when it&#039;s there.

Take care, 
Susie

		<description>I can&#039;t tell you how much everyone&#039;s kind words and supportive statements means to me, Ferd. It has been a challenging couple of months, but I think I&#039;m in a pretty good place with everything right now. I have no power to change things, and all I can ask God for is the ability to recognize what I can do to be supportive to my parents.</description>
