Thank you God for Parents and Grandparents!!
Saturday, May 9th, 2009 | Uncategorized
For some reason, this week I have heard about several friends tha I have here who have either lost both or one of their parents at a very young age. One friend lost his dad when he was 22. Two of my friends in their late 20s/early 30s have already lost both of their parents. Another friend lost his dad when he was 12 and his mom when he was 18.
And then there’s me. I am one year away from 30, and I still have both of my parents and even all four of my grandparents. How did I get so blessed? It’s certainly not because I somehow deserve it more than the rest.
How does God’s will play out that some of us get to say goodbye to our parents when they’re old and some of us don’t? I don’t know. I’ll never know. Somehow God has different roads for us to walk. But when I realize that I still have my parents and grandparents in my life, I am so grateful that I’ve had this much time with them! Thank you God and thank you family for doing your part to stay healthy!!

Hi Ruthie,
I had lunch with your Dad a while back, and he told me about your blog page. I completely enjoyed it tonight and laughed out loud at the pick up lines and other funny things! I imagine you must be quite famous in your sphere of influence there. I am very impressed with your experience of community. I gather you are gaining a wealth of experience. Thank you for sharing. You have my prayers for your skin infection, and your wellbeing (I too have a nasty bug bite).
Blessings,
Nader
