I know space is cramped at times, but I was raised with six children and two parents in a very tiny two bedroom house and I've learned that closeness can be comfortable and wonderful. It blesses my heart to know that I get to wake up every morning and see Ash and Blake and Allie and I know when the day does come that you get to move back into your house that our house will seem awfully eerie and quiet for a while. You may have us then visiting you more than you would like so watch out....ha ha. Please know that my heart and home is ALWAYS open to all my children/grandchildren and I'll ALWAYS be willing and ready to help in any way I can. I told Greypa just a couple of nights ago how happy I am having you all here and I pray you will know the love in my heart for you all. I also know how ready you are to get back to your "normal" life in your own home - I understand. But...let me love you and love the situation while we're in in for this too shall pass...sooner than we think.

I can't imagine what it would be like to have my home all torn apart like that and have to rely on someone else to provide my bed and room. It must be hard. I pray you will get through this time with peace and grace and strength. I pray for Grandpa and Grandma too. I love your family!<BR/><BR/>ShariAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33735305.post-33641107119408277312007-03-24T22:06:00.000-06:002007-03-24T22:06:00.000-06:00How well I remember when we had to stay, between j...How well I remember when we had to stay, between jobs, with my parents, which meant 3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, my parents, my husband and myself, and our 5 children, ages 5 months to 13 years. Such love they extended to let us stay there, and I bet they couldn't count the times they bit their tongues rather than say something. But it was a long 5 months, and I was so thrilled at the end of it to find a place of our own, where we could truly let our hair down in our own relaxing, sometimes messy way. I know it can be hard. But as it was with us, what a blessing to have family who are willing to open up their homes. I bet it beats the hospital. And I know you aren't complaining. Just percolating a little, and then back to your very blessed life. You inspire me. - Dee Dee R.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33735305.post-38493394310661754452007-03-24T21:57:00.000-06:002007-03-24T21:57:00.000-06:00I know you must just long to be home!

It will refresh your soul when you can walk across that threshold and stay in your jammies if you want. God has been so great in providing a place so you didn't have to stay in Omaha until the remodel was done. Allowing the little princess to see her Dad and brother & sister..Change brings stress though even when it is good, especially when it is taking place so fast. Its like you pray and pray and then "wham" here everything is changed for the better but there are other obstacles now. Just stop and breathe! Breathe deeply...your babies are all together, this is just another "step" in Ashley's journey. You can get through this time. My prayer for you is for peace in the midst of the whole construction issue and peace wherever you are and God given patience and grace. This is God's plan, how great to know of His love for you and Ashley. Sweet dreams! ColleenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
