A Post From Diane

I would like to again thank all of the wonderful friends who continue to come by and give my healing Mother company and visit her while dropping off the many greatly appreciated food items you continue to provide. You're spoiling them, you know, but they are so very appreciative and blessed to have so much love and fellowship during this recovery time. There are, no doubt, many less fortunate folks out there who recover in a lonely state but, in this case we have a true testament to the love that Mom and John have so often given to see so much coming back. Thank you all and God bless you.

My Mom keeps telling me that she enjoyed reading the blog more when I was writing it and, even though she is keeping up fairly well, she says she thinks it is not as interesting. I would like to note, at this time, that if I were still writing this blog it would be about me and my family and the goings on in and around our house in Eureka Springs. I'm not there with her and John and it is very difficult to tell accurately about what is happening there from here. I would do it for her if I could just so she doesn't have to pick it out with two or three fingers but I think she is doing well and the exercise is good for her hand too. I hope.

Since I first began the blog, back in October, I thought it was going to be a wonderful tool for our mother to keep everyone informed of her daily doings.. She always shares her thoughts and ideas. There is so much she likes to share with us and her friends. She is exactly the kind of person who can put a blog to good use. It's her perspective, told her way and by her. It's delightful and, thankfully, evolving with her and her healing progress. Eventually it will be filled with nothing more than how many places she has been and the things she and John have been doing. What a terrific place to share all the blessings they have received and enjoy daily.

Mindy and I will remain contributors but we, like everyone else, enjoy reading "Linda's blog" every day too. Thanks for keeping up with it Mom. I would gladly be the typist if you really don't want to do the typing for a while. Just call me and tell me what to type. I just hope you will enjoy blogging for quite a while so we can all continue to hear about your world.
