YOU SENT YOUR ANGEL MINNY

THANK YOU DEAR LORD!!!

MINNY FINALLY CAME,

  

 I HAVE MISSED HER SO.

 WE HAVE SO MUCH FUN!

 SHE HAS HAD A WHOLE LOT TO DEAL WITH.

 HER TWO DAUGHTERS HAVE BEEN VERY ILL.

  

 LINDA HAS CANCER AND IS PUTTING UP THE GOOD FIGHT!

HER SISTER-IN-LAW AND HER DAUGHTER DIED THE SAME DAY THIS WEEK!

 THE MOM DIED AND THE DAUGHTER WENT INTO SHOCK AND HAD A HEART ATTACK

  

 AND DIED AFTER HEARING THE NEWS OF HER MOTHER.

 HOW TRAGIC?

  

 MY DEAR FRIEND KAREN PASSED AWAY LAST WEEK AND VICKI

THEN CARLA'S MOM WENT TO BE WITH YOU THIS WEEK!

 WHAT A CROWD YOU HAVE IN HEAVEN.

 I WISH I COULD SAY I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO JOINING YOU 

 BUT AS THEY PUT UP THE GOOD FIGHT 

SO WILL i

HA! HA!

I GUESS THAT LITTLE i SLIPPED IN THERE A SECOND TIME EVEN.

 I DON'T KNOW WHAT THESE CRAZY HANDS WILL DO.

 MINNY TOLD ME ABOUT HER NIECE WHO HAD THE HEART ATTACK.

 SHE LIKED TO COOK AND SO TOOK IT OUT AND WALKED AMONG THE HOMELESS AND FED THEM.

 IMAGINE IF I WOULD LIKED TO COOK

 I DON'T THINK I WOULD DO THAT.

 AT LEAST NOW A DAYS

WITH THE COST OF FOOD.

 YOU KNOW THAT IS WHAT GOT ME AWAKE TONIGHT.

 HOW COMFORTABLE I FEEL WITH ALL KINDS OF PEOPLE!

 NOT MANY PEOPLE CAN HANDLE DIFFERENT PEOPLE.

 THE MENTALLY CHALLENGED

 THE TERMINALLY ILL CANCER PATIENT

AT LEAST WITH MANY DISEASES THERE IS TREATMENT TO HELP!

 NOT WITH THE ONE YOU PICKED FOR ME

 IT IS EXTREME

  

 BUT MAYBE THIS IS THE WAY YOU ARE GIVING ME AN EXTREME MAKE OVER.

 I WOULD HAVE RATHER HAD THE 

 THE EXTREME MAKE OVER FROM TV

BACK TO PEOPLE

  

 HOW COME SOME PEOPLE SEE NO DIFFERENCES AND OTHERS SEE

 ALL THE DIFFERENCES?

 YOU KNOW I LEARNED MOST OF MY SURVIVAL SKILLS FROM THE HOMELESS I HAVE RUN IN CONTACT WITH.

 THEY TAUGHT ME HOW TO GET TOILET TISSUE WITH NO MONEY!

 HOW TO GET WATER WITH NO WATER!

THEY TAUGHT ME HOW TO STORE THINGS WITH NO HOME.

 THEY TAUGHT ME HOW TO PROTECT MYSELF FROM THE ELEMENTS OUT ON THE STREET.

 YOU KNOW I EVEN LEARNED A SKILL OR TWO FROM PIMPS AND PROSTITUTES.

 SOME HAVE A HEART DEEP DOWN INSIDE. 

 I ALWAYS KNEW THE ONES WHO WERE SENSITIVE.

I GUESS LORD,
I HAVE LEARNED FROM THE CHALLENGES YOU SENT MY WAY?

 I HAVE NOT RUN FROM THEM.

 I GUESS MINNY'S NIECE,
GOT ME TO SPEAK ABOUT THIS. 

 LORD I AM PUTTING OUT A CALENDAR TO HAVE PEOPLE SIGN UP TO HELP ME.

 I NEED A LOT OF HELP TO DOWNSIZE

 AND MAKE THINGS PRACTICAL FOR HOW I AM ABOUT TO LIVE. 

 NOTICED I SAID HOW I AM ABOUT TO LIVE NOT DIE.

 I KNOW I NEED TO TAKE STALK OF THINGS.

 BUT I NEED HUMOR AND FUN,
LIKE WHEN MINNY HELPS ME!

 SHE LEARNS FROM ME AND I LEARN FROM HER. 

 WE SHARE THIS LIFE. 

 KAREN LEARNS FROM ME AND I LEARN FROM HER. 

  

 WE SHARE THIS LIFE. 

 TOM LEARNS FROM ME AND I LEARN FROM HIM.

 AND WE SHARE THIS LIFE.

 CONNIE LEARNS FROM ME AND I LEARN FROM HER.

 AND WE SHARE THIS LIFE.

 THAT IS HOW I HANDLE THINGS THE BEST 

 SHARING THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY.

 IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT US TO DO.

 IS THAT HOW I AM SUPPOSE TO LIVE?

 TAKE EACH CHALLENGE AND LEARN SOMETHING NEW!!!

 EVEN IF I DON'T WANT THIS ALS

 IT IS ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO LIVE MY LIFE AS I ALWAYS HAVE.

 ARE YOU TELLING ME THIS SHOULD BE FAMILIAR.

ARE YOU TELLING ME THIS DOWN HILL BATTLE WITH ALS

 SHOULD BE FAMILIAR.

WHat were you thinking?
