Its been far too long

So I haven't been on here in forever....I went from being a good blogger to being a never blogger again. I think I get too caught up in facebook posting and forget that this blog is what really needs attention. Anyway all is well with us Gripentrog's, nothing much to report.
My best friends mother is dying of stage 4 cancer. She was not expected to make it through the week, but she is still hanging on. I have been able to spend some special time with her lately. She is such a special lady. I have found it extremely healing to be able to be with her. It was very hard for me to be with my mom when she was sick. I have a lot of guilt that I did not spend more time with her. So it has been nice to be able to be there for Jackie and her mom.
I know in just a short while she will be up in heaven with my mom, and that warms my heart, if even just a bit....
