Gosh, my blogs lately have not contained many word of good news and even today I'm feeling sad because yet another dear one has passed away. Marvin Mylander died last night from complications with his heart. He had gone to Mayo Clinic and had heart surgery a few months back and just has not recovered from it. He's been on oxygen and was looking really gaunt. He spent the past week in ICU here in Escanaba. I think Chris and Ken would remember him- he was even more of a sensitive Christian than even Pastor Brady. Whenever he would speak of God, he would end up in tears. Over the past couple years, I looked forward to seeing him every Sunday- he'd always greet me a with a hug, tears in his eyes, and say, "Oh, God bless you Gina." He was always very sweet and quite emotional when Paul would come to church with me and the kids. I don't understand all this sadness at this time of year. God plan's is so much more complex than our simple minds could ever understand. Someday we will know.
I caught a nasty stomach bug Thursday, felt better late Saturday morning. Then Saturday night, caught mastitis! I think I may have managed to fight it off, hopefully. I guess since my immune was suppressed from the other virus, it's just easier to get mastitis. Not fun during a season of hugs though!
I wonder how Christmas in Alabama was this year- I'm sure Gigi liked it so much. Our Christmas was good despite the Eeyore cloud. The kids enjoyed spending Christmas Eve at Grandma and Grandpa's and lots of fun with their cousins. Then Christmas Day at the Hosking's and then a very cozy visit at Mom's.
Well, it's a day of relaxation today. I'm still in my new fluffy robe that I got from Paul and it's nearly noon! The kids are playing with new fangled toys that I am amazed at and my little guy is napping. Hope all is well throughout your homes and hearts.
