Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Merry Christmas Everyone! Well, here is another Christmas. This year has been wonderful in that it appears people are no longer afraid of "Political Polite Reference" to what is a very important time of the Year for all Christians and those that look for to a helping hand from Christmas Love. Over the phone nearly everyone has said Merry Christmas to me. I have heard nothing of any other term for the Holiday Season. No one has even mentioned the other Holidays or religious celebrations.
I am floored that I have not anything but "Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays"!
It is wonderful to know that I can be very proud of my heritage upbringing and not be made ashamed to openly share my Joy of the this time of the year.
I have much to be thankful for: My eldest is home from Iraq. If they lost a soldier in their command I have not been told.
I know several were wounded and thankful more so than We, the extended family to welcome the "Battlefield hardened soldiers" home. It is with great sorrow to read published articles that state my Son and His men came "Under fire", small arms or heavy artillery". A very strange Read, for a parent. My youngest son is doing well - Apple is a superior company for employees. We are an iPhone family. I look forward to the day My Army son is part of the iPhone family.
My Father is of course incapacitated by a stroke. However, I am most thankful to the Lord that He did not kill anyone with His motor vehicle. It was a horrific accident. Here is the url - take a look, it is amazing what you get to see in this day and time.

Absolutely a miracle here. He has had another stroke since this awful wreck. I am told the left side of his brain is severely damaged. The only update I have is that He looks good for someone that has had two strokes.
Ms Patches, Our beloved kitty is doing well. She now has no limping from Her accident. Happen while We were out. Caused a Hefty medical bill. She is sitting at my feet telling me - You have typed enough on the computer. I have to be petted!

I am very thankful that I am in a wonderful apartment on the Cold North Atlantic. That I wake everyday to the sight and sound of the Sea! I smell the fresh Salt Sea Water year round. I am hoping to stay in this area for a long time to come.
May the Light of the World shine upon you All, May it enter into your Hearts and Share the Love of the Earth, Our Dear Home.

Hello! To Everyone: This is the time of the year that I have no time.
Wow! They had taken a small burden from me as I was walking to the next leg of my Bus and T and walking commute.
As, I entered the Great Front Doors of South Station, I thought of all the Delivery trucks I saw burdened by the snow and icy roads. I wondered why, anyone would call in to complain of any delay of a delivery.

Note on my Father: Last up date - He looks good for someone who has had 2 strokes. The second stroke was massive and did damage to the whole left side of His brain. That is all I know at this time.

Heady out the snowy door to work. Mandated overtime - Saturday!

More Father Delimma

My Sisters who took control of Our Father and took him to Texas, are now fighting over His care. It is now a mute point.
He has has another stroke and it is a bad one. His whole left side is in paralysis.
The Younger Sister called to defend the Older Sister. They said the VA took all of His blood medicines away and did not do any test for the Throat arteries.

Father's Condition

Well! This is the load down on my Father's condition:

Carotid artery is completely blocked. #1 This means no surgery can be performed. {Someone explain why not?}

#2. If the blood thinners do not work-He is a ticking time bomb.
#3. Why is one of the most powerful Senators in the World, Senator Ted Kennedy, routine checked for these blockages and the
rest of the senior citizens are left out in the Cold? Including Veterans. Where is their justice?
#4. I was told my oldest sister is doing ok now.
#5. He is not going to be charged with motor vehicle violations. No, one was hurt physically from the crash.
He totaled two cars, His will not be replaced.


Most meaning full, I want to Graciously thank Everyone that has offered prayers and hope for the best.
All of you wonderful thoughts are always appreciated, I keep all of you in my Daily Thoughts.
