 It’s a strange time, old age. Being HOH occurs. If you yell to be heard, you’re told, “you don’t need to yell”. Then, he says,”I can’t hear you. SPEAK UP!” His teeth had to be removed and he has,anchor man, white teeth for $8000.00. I didn’t want him to leave his teeth out. Gabby Hayes.
I’m married to a HOH, GABBY HAYES. His dentures bother a spot on his gums. We’ve been going back for filings.
Now, I’m 90 # overweight. He’s been very kind to me on that. He just wants me to be healthy. Otherwise I have teeth, ears and eyes. My hair was getting thin But a vitamin pill helped. So, I’m not bald. He’s not bald, hurray.
But romance has changed. I don’t mind. Loving someone is bigger than sex. But, he’s a man and doesn’t want to completely give up. It’s sweet but a penance of sorts. SIGH! So, far we can walk and talk and recognize each other. Memories a little off but not bad.
He is a Catholic who doesn’t go to church. The Scandals did him in.,Me, I’m in choir but we both had twin pneumonia and were in the hospital together for St. Pats day. He’s from Ireland. What a celebration. He almost had to have life support. I was pre septic. I bounced better. He was on Oxygen before and needs it more now. Both a little weaker. Church going for me w/o choir is sort of non-existent. I am in constant pain w osteoarthritis, DDD, DJD, FIBROMYALGIA. Sucks the life out of you. Pain meds work a little but I’m sluggish b/c of health and drugs. Interrupted sleep at night. Getting up is a question mark. So, out of 7 days, 2-I could push to go to mass. But, pushing doesn’t seem worth it. I’ll get back in Choir next year. Pneumonia stopped me this year.
Depressed! Oh Yes! My son is married to a beautiful women. He’s behaved horribly at times.
I’ll spare the long story but on Mother’s Day, he couldn’t maintain and she’ll see a lawyer in AM. She gave him a baby girl when she was 41 yo.
He was, her HS SWEETHEART. Her nightmare now.
My husband and I are opposites. He was raised poor in Ireland. His house had dirt floors. It was like ANGELAS ASHES but better. His Father sent money home from England. He had to catch rabbits for meat in stew. Would you believe a bulls head was cooked for Christmas dinner snd was thought to be a delicacy. GROAN! He does have a chip in his shoulder. Don’t get him mad at you, you’re crossed off his list. So much for forgiveness 70x7.
I help ppl. Of course, my last project did some filing and organizing for me. She brought her son, who was doing yard work. Well,’over 2 episodes w us in the house, they stole, drugs. Then, drugs, a bottle of So.Comfort and a gun. Came back 12/24 and cleaned us out of a rifle,another gun, $1200.00 in cash, a TV- costs $4000.00. They are, finally, caught and we are in jail w an ADT SECURITY SYSTEM. Locked in, we are.
He’s not feeling helpful to the needy now. I can’t stop. Then, I get counseled by himself.
I’m ,probably, over 3200 spaces.
Life in the fast lane. Laugh or cry or both.
In Christ’s Love

Remember,
O most gracious Virgin Mary that never was it known that anyone who fled to your protection, Implored your help, or sought your intercession, was left unaided.
Inspired by this confidence, I fly to you, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To you do I come, before you I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in Thy mercy hear and answer me, Amen.
 
Thank you Katie 777. It will be all right, you know. I hope you laughed w some reflections. There are others that have it worse, than us. I’m just not smiling now. Thevsun will come up in the morning.
 
Prayer for Peace of Mind

Fortify us all with the grace of Your Holy
Spirit, and give Your peace to our souls
that we may be free from all needless
anxiety, solicitude, and worry. Help us to
desire always that which is pleasing and
acceptable to You so that Your will may
be our will. Through Christ Our Lord, amen.

– St. Frances Xavier Cabrini
 
Praying that God will grant all the desires of your heart, tweedlealice. I’m so sorry you’re going through a tough time now. I know you’re an optimistic being because of your unwavering faith. Keep on, the tides will change, for sure. Always trust in God, and He will not fail you…
 
Saint Michael, the archangel, defend us in battle, be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil, may God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do you, O’ Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God thrust into Hell Satan and all the other evil spirits who prowl about the world for the ruin of souls.

Amen.



Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Amen.



Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.

Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.

njlisa, that is a lovely prayer! TY.
Mothers Day had good moments but my son left his wife. He had a lot on him. Said unkind things and moved out. I was literally shaking. He’s back, but he Has to change some reactions and learn to speak when he is stressed and say,”NO!” occasionally. My sweet husband
( he is) started this thing of telling me not to interrupt. Now, that sounds reasonable but, I was trying to add 1 word to a discussion to hasten understanding. I wasn’t taking over. Then, he misinterprets my speaking as implying, he’s wrong and I’m right! GROAN! I said,” Why do you think, I’m picking on you every time Im opening my mouth? I’m just stating an observation. It doesn’t say you are wrong!
It’s OK. I just have to bring out Brass polish!
Thanks for the prayers. They are working!

AsSt. Teresa of Avila says;
Let nothing disturb you,
Let nothing frighten you,
All things are passing away:
God never changes.
Patience obtains all things
Whoever has God lacks nothing;
God alone suffices.

– St. Teresa of Avila
