So I have decided instead of trying to think of it this way I will instead replace what is lost with other kinds of joy! Sure sometimes my wrist crumbles under the weight of my camera, but I'm able to capture beauty behind the lens that others miss. Someday my knees will give out, but I can still take pictures and I can still read, my fave activities. life has something in store for us that will take the place of whatever we have to lose along the way....:) thanks for sharing your insight with us! ~MaryMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07400445074212050525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18275476.post-59473657640336339662011-10-14T00:51:32.283-04:002011-10-14T00:51:32.283-04:00As someone who struggles with arthritis I sometime...As someone who struggles with arthritis I sometimes feel like it robs me of daily joys.

What a blessing to share...God bless you Jennifer. <br /><br />What a blessing to share this time with your daughter, I haven't had any of my kids got through those kinds of things yet, but I was one of those kids and now I'm sorry for all the grief and hardship I put my mom through. But God also has used those things to shape me and now I think it gives me a different perspective to add to life. <br /><br />Blessings on your daughter, and her new life, and her new passion for sewing! :)kerrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12360668091194462455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18275476.post-19282906403173365232011-10-11T21:14:09.326-04:002011-10-11T21:14:09.326-04:00I am moved by your writing and feel like I already...I am moved by your writing and feel like I already know you so well. Though I am happy for the gains in your life (new grandchildren) I am sad for the discouragement in your daily life. You are obviously very courageous but when we are robbed our simple pleasures, it is only natural to feel fear, anger and doubt about everything now and in the future. I will pray for you, Jennifer, that somehow there is a way around all this and mostly, a way through.

I won't give you the standard ...Dear Jennifer, <br />I won't give you the standard line about how sorry I am that you have such a debilitating illness.<br />I would much rather tell you about being a Nana. I have 3 punks who I just adore. Bella is now 7 and so grown-up. It seems like yesterday that I touched my lips to her beautiful head. Matt is now 6 and just the best little boy I have ever known. He is kind and gentle and caring. He makes me laugh and he is missing his 2 front teeth at the moment. Last but not least is Zach. he is 14 months and a little bit of a hell raiser. When he get mad he slaps the sides of his thighs with his hands. It makes me laugh uncontrollably. Being a Nana is just about the best thing in the whole world. Mind you, I don't like kids very much. By that I mean, other people's children. Since becoming a Nana, I have mellowed a great deal and find myself smiling at cute little ones in the store and in TV commercials. It's a totally different feeling when they look at you and you know you can say yes to the cookie because that is what Nana's do. I get to buy those extra little things that I know will make them happy and I don't worry about them "Being Spoiled". You will love being a grandmother and the love you will feel for your daughters will just overwhelm you. You will be astonished by the fullness of your heart.<br />I know you will never allow some stinking illness to get the better of you. When you hold those beautiful babies in your arms, press your lips to their heads and their hands and their toes. Take in that wonderful smell of babyness. It will make up for the loss of touch in your fingers.<br />Thank you for the reminders of everyday life. It is so easy to get caught up in living that one forgets about life.<br />Take care of yourself and please keep me informed about the Nana thing. <br />Hugs and Kisses<br />RoseMaryRoseMary Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03787476824574095572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18275476.post-27190078638445686732011-10-06T20:41:02.643-04:002011-10-06T20:41:02.643-04:00Oh my dearest jennifer.
