Family Joys

Ok I have neglected my blog for awhile.
That is ok, as I have been enjoying my family.

My Son Corey and his wife Tiffany were here for 5 days. I have totally enjoyed the time spent with them and Tiffany's parents. The sad part is they came all this way to get sick the last few days of being here. Corey is the only one who didn't. Other than that, it was great to share time with them once again, before they head back to Missouri. It just reminded me how much I miss them; and how much I miss our son Rick.

Family is the best part of my life; well maybe second, because the love and blessings I receive each day are number one. Without Jesus and a loving Heavenly Father in my life, it would be empty and dark.

Family is such a blessing, I love the time I can share with each one of them. Our Grandchildren keep growing up and adding joy to my life.

The individual time I get with my son Josh and daughter Shelby is some of the best talks or moments. It is amazing how much love I feel for each one of the children God has shared with me in this life. I thank him often for such gifts of love.

Health Care

Okay I am not sure I agree totally with the health care reform either. HOWEVER, I do agree that some things do need to change. I am tired of people being all about them self.

We need something in place for all people because; all people, okay most people get sick at one time or another. I would like to see healthcare cost go down so everyone could afford it. Insurance companies controlled with how much profit they can make in a year. It's all about $ right now, not the well being of people.

People with insurance can say no to reform, they have coverage and their bills get paid. Heaven forbid they get denied or told they are no longer with their insurance company; they would be the ones hollering the loudest.

People without insurance are charged more, because they don't have insurance companies telling medical professional and institutes, we will only pay for this amount. So of course they bill to insurance companies at higher rate know ing they will not get it. That is fair market in America. HOWEVER, those uninsured are charged more to make the difference. So tell me how that makes the process right; when people have to go without care, because they don't have means to pay.

Sure there are ways around it; with assistance and organizations that help those less fortunate. HOWEVER, what about the people who are in need of health care; those are in the middle.

Sorry I suppose I want the perfect world where everyone who wants to go to the dentist and get their teeth taken care of, CAN; no matter what that may be, and be able to afford it.

I know there are those people who spend $ on non important things instead of their own health care well being. HOWEVER I am speaking of those who are honest, paying their own way responsibly, but yet are just getting by.

Not all Americans have it all, no matter how hard they try; those people also deserve the right to health care. The current healthcare does have some concerns that are real. Instead of threatening the people that are representing us, you won't vote for them again if they vote yes or no. How about we come together with realistic ideas to be considered; or truths about how healthcare has affected many lives because it is already flawed and fix those specific problems.

Sorry I am in one of those moods; life was not meant to be fair, but I refuse to sit back and let $ hungry fools run my life and country.

September 2009

This month seems to have a lot of growth through experiences in it; and it is only September 7, 2009.

Mom is not doing so well physically; she had to go to the hospital. I know she didn't want to go, but sometimes one has to make those hard choices. They were going to send her home from the ER. Not on mine and my sisters watch. The poor woman had low blood sugars, low blood pressure, and her oxygen dropped while there. Plus she cannot get up and walk even with help. It was because what they thought might be the problem; wasn't. Mom needs to be where they can hopefully help her.

My husband Jim has been very supportive during this time. He has gone to help and be there with me while we have needed to be their for Mom. I am grateful for him being in my life and truly love him. He is very good for me and I for him, we compliment one another.

My Sister Sher and her Husband Fred have done what they can to help her since Mom came to live with them in July of this year. It hasn't always been easy, but they keep moving forward. A growing stage of life for them. I appreciate that they have taken care of Mom and when needed they call on us. :) May the Lord bless them for their sincere efforts and love.

May we all find good people in our lives and treasure those relationships.
