Yesterday after Far Guy's infusion we left our daughter's home and ventured back to our home in the woods.
The further South we got the more snow we encountered. It is NOT an April Fool's joke either.
They got about eight inches of snow a few days ago.
What a wintery welcome. Everything was fine at home, so far anyway. We have hot water, cold water and the septic system seems to be working...all good things after our time away. Anna our snow shoveler removed snow for us! My other baby brother and she who sees robins first helped us unload the car...everything will be put away eventually.
Good to be home...but it is quiet.
Son In Law Andy got sad news; His youngest sister was diagnosed with Thyroid Cancer yesterday and her Thyroid Gland was removed, she has two little girls ages 4 and 5 that are spending some time with Andy and Jen. ( When we left the house was full of giggles, running and playing.) Andy's Father Bob started Hospice this week, his Myelofibrosis has turned into Leukemia. Prayers are appreciated.
My Dad was admitted to a Nursing Care Facility yesterday about a one hour drive away.

So much sad news. Lifting all up. I have wondered for a long time what happened to Iggy who posted on your Forgotten Old Photos blog. That blog name stuck with me for some reason.
ReplyDeleteI heard from Iggy at Christmas, he was doing better, I hope he comes back to the blogging world soon:)
DeleteSo sorry to hear all the bad news. Will keep all in my prayers. We had about 3 inches of that really wet snow yesterday. The Robins didn't look very happy at all. Glad you are safely back home and that all is well with the house.
ReplyDeleteI hope you see good good signs and good news today. Hope your mother is well.
ReplyDeleteWelcome home! That's a lot of snow. Prayers for comfort & peace for each one's health. Karen
ReplyDeletePrayers for your family, so much all at once! I am glad you are home, not so glad you were greeted by the white piles. Holding you all close to my heart.
ReplyDeleteWhenever returning home from a long absence, the best feeling is seeing the house still intact and standing as I drive up to it followed by the second best feeling of having working utilities. I always love the quietness of home after an extended absence.
ReplyDeletePrayers offered for you and your family members.
Prayers to all. I hope that snow melts and turns into new green growth and spring flowers.
ReplyDeleteWelcome home - that some serious snow in your area! Andy’s family is getting pounded with stressful news. Prayers for his sister and Dad, and for your Dad, too.
ReplyDeleteWelcome home!
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts go out to all of the family members struggling with health issues at this time.
A very trying time. Sending up prayers.
ReplyDeleteWelcome home?
I love snow, but it's not much fun this time of year. Wishing you sunny blue skies!!
ReplyDeleteSending prayers. Thyroid cancer hardly ever spreads quickly, so hopefully she will recover completely.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry to hear of the challenging issue your family has. Rather amazing that they put your Dad so far away.
ReplyDeleteI am sorry for all the bad news. I hope your being home will be an easy adjustment even though you were living in a bigger family. I bet you squeezed Sadie in a suitcase and they would not notice she was gone.
ReplyDeleteIt's always good to get back home. Winter is not wanting to let go anywhere this year! I'm sorry to hear about Andy's sister and Father. There is so much cancer these days. I hope your Dad is improving from his illness. You are all in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteThis is really tough news. I am so sorry. Take care of yourselves.
ReplyDeleteYou certainly came home to a wintery welcome. Hope it melts soon.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry about all the sad news. One can only hope for the best possible outcome in each case.
The snow we had yesterday morning is already gone. It sure helped the grass, you can actually see touches of green. I'm glad Sadie has some little girls to play with because I'm sure she's missing you both.
ReplyDeleteAndy's family is sure having more than their share of bad news. I will definitely be in prayer for them all and your Mom and Dad too. I'm sure it's really hard for them to be separated after all these years.
Enjoy home. There's nothing like it is there?
Blessings,
Betsy
Welcome home! I can imagine you will be finding it very quiet after being with others, but there really is no place quite like your own home :)
ReplyDeleteSuch sad news! Prayers are forthcoming for all. Does this mean your Dad will not be home again? That quite a distance for your Mom to visit him. No more bingo? Really n ot a very "welcome home"...I'm so sorry.
ReplyDeleteWelcome home, but too much unwelcome news. Find some joy.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear that you made it home safely. We have a ton of snow and ice here too....no signs of Spring around. Praying for your dad....that he an regain his strength and get back home again very soon. Praying for Andy's youngest sister...friends that I have known with thyroid cancer have all done very well and lived long lives...I will pray the same for her. Praying for Andy's dad too. And how is far guy's sister doing? Prayers for her too.
ReplyDeleteGlad you made it home okay. It always feels good to be back home after a time away. Hope your dad rebounds quickly and is soon back home. Keeping those with health issues in my prayers. Our snow is mostly gone but it's very cold. I sure hope it starts to warm up soon. Take care and enjoy your weekend.
ReplyDeleteWelcome home ~ back to the woods! Saying prayers for Andy, Jen and their family.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you made it home safely but sad to hear all the difficult news. That feels like a double whammy only a triple.
ReplyDeleteWe didn't get nearly that much, but we got a bit of snow as we headed in to April too. It was only about half an inch, and it didn't stick around, but still. I think I'm the only one who was glad. LOL!
ReplyDeleteSorry about all the people with health issues... Will keep them in my thoughts.
So much medical bad news. I will keep all in my prayers! Andy's sister... *sigh*. Those little girls still need their mommy. How does a young woman like that get thyroid cancer??!! Such a mystery! ~Andrea xoxo
