I got so caught up, I read to the very end. No wonder Mr. Gartner won a Pulitzer..and wasn't it something how his father reassured his children before passing, that he had lived a good life, and was in no pain.<br /><br />I'm telling you when I read that, I wept. <br /><br />Thank you so much for asking about my mother. That meant so much to me. This week has not been one of her best. But we walk with what we're given in my house, and I truly feel I'm just blessed that she's still here with me.<br /><br />My new hope (after reading Mr. Gartner's story) will be that she is able to convey at the end, that she feels no pain and had lived a good life.<br /><br />I truly believe God sent your post to me tonight. It's been such a tough week and I've been talking to Him every single day of it. I know that I know..He sent this post to encourage me. He sent this beautiful story to help me and others just like me. Thank you for caring.<br /><br />Blessings, love and sunshine, TerriTerri Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17981538197473232264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8473813305444333763.post-68435907714433381822010-02-20T16:37:20.332-08:002010-02-20T16:37:20.332-08:00Oh this story has me both laughing and crying it i...Oh this story has me both laughing and crying it is so beautiful. I was just thinking of my dad, I'm waiting for them to get home from church and dinner which they always go to on Saturday night and then I want to give him a call and tell him how much I love him. He is 73 and in a wheel chair due to a massive stroke 10 years ago. He his such a sweetheart.

He's still shart as a tack--and even though he doesn't get out in the cold winters much, he does walk on his treadmill. <br /><br />Mom will be 90 in May--and really is in worse shape than Dad. She has aches and pains --and also has short-term memory problems. But--overall, they both AMAZE and INSPIRE me. <br /><br />They have lived a healthy life and have NOT ever taken any prescription drugs. <br /><br />Your parents had a wonderful life--and the love was there with them just like it is with Mom and Dad Adams. <br /><br />Dad drove until about 2 yrs. ago when he lost his eyesight to macular degeneration. I'm not sure how many 'left' turns they made either!!!!!<br /><br />God Bless our elderly... I only want to live that long IF I can be as healthy as Dad Adams!!!<br />Hugs,<br />BetsyBetsy Banks Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16223591156634767330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8473813305444333763.post-72789933249288996742010-02-20T09:41:42.276-08:002010-02-20T09:41:42.276-08:00Thanks for sharing this wonderful story of the fam...Thanks for sharing this wonderful story of the family with no car...at least for a time! It reminded me of the years we lived without a care during WWII and how my dad and I would walk everywhere. It was a mile or so to the village and two miles to the city (complete with 2500 population). I loved walking with my dad. You had to "keep up" and I worked as hard as I could to do just that...and it provided many sweet memories. Thanks for jogging my memories! Hugs!

I just love this story, what a wonderful account! Thanks for sharing, it was a joy. I had a great Aunt who lived to be 104 and she had her driver's license until she was 100 and then gave it up-ha! She would drive to McDonald's and her bank, both being only a couple of blocks from her home.

Reminds me of my own dad, who at 88 and dying of pancreatic cancer last November, informed me three days before he died that I needn't feed him ice cream. "I don't like to be fed with a spoon," he stubbornly asserted. I just smiled, but thought to myself, "Fine. Then feed yourself." He and I both knew he couldn't do it. I miss him terribly, his dry wit, his generosity, his garden. Thank you for posting this warm story.<br /><br />LizAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8473813305444333763.post-7171460206575791552010-02-20T00:07:37.941-08:002010-02-20T00:07:37.941-08:00Marydon
