This Dec. I decided to make a trip to Arizona to see my Grandmother. She wasn't doing very well and I was concerned that this might be the last time I might be able to see her. She was much skinnier than I had anticipated and didn't look good in general. All in all I was glad that I went. The part I am leaving out is the fact that I made the trip with one of my best friends Deanna. She flew out here from Austin TX and we drove together to Phoenix. We had a blast as this was the first time I had ever done anything like that! My only issue was that that was the farthest I have ever been away from my children. I missed them so much! The whole trip was fun and I saw lots of extended family. Praise the Lord for his small blessings and miracles!
