About Me
After 7 years of wondering and 2 1/2 yrs in Assisted living, I am now confined mainly to bed. Last week my Dr signed the papers to put me at Health Care level 1, which as you maybe aware is the last level before death, however long it takes. I still wake in morning still here, for now. I want to continue for 6 months or so. Still work to do. Grateful to a loving Heavenly Father and the love of those around me.
