It is always on the TV screen at our bank, though, so I do see it there and it almost caused a melt down, too, when the reports came across about the Marine training helicopter crashing and the boys being missing. I had a very hard time not having a major freak out even though it wasn't in the area where Davey was supposed to be.<br /><br />If a person wanted to have nightmares, the news is a great place to find the prompters for them, that's for sure.<br /><br />Have a great evening. :)Suzanne McClendonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15563562309945754772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7113402480415418715.post-37580705211930894192016-08-20T18:00:40.312-05:002016-08-20T18:00:40.312-05:00I agree.

I could never have thought badly about my grandma. She was my rock and I never had to doubt her love for me. In my eyes, she was a much bigger person than the ones that treated her so badly could ever hope to be. <br /><br />Thank you for your encouragement, Patrica. <br /><br />Have a blessed evening. :)Suzanne McClendonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15563562309945754772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7113402480415418715.post-65479327337748893512016-08-20T16:49:38.281-05:002016-08-20T16:49:38.281-05:00Great answers ... as per 4, I always feel better w...Great answers ... as per 4, I always feel better when I turn off the news.Purrseiodnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03679761065736830128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7113402480415418715.post-28674108936880572016-08-20T15:19:28.366-05:002016-08-20T15:19:28.366-05:00It sad and troublesome the way the elderly, anyone...It sad and troublesome the way the elderly, anyone, are treated when they are unable to care for themselves. Wonderful that you were one who did continue to see her as a person of worth. The fact that you endure and continue on in spite of how you may feel or be thinking proves that you are indeed an empowered woman.

I can still hear my grandma and grandpa explaining to me about the hot coals of conviction and praying for our enemies.<br /><br />There are horrible things that go on out there against the elderly, and sometimes these things are done by their own family members. It is horrible. :( I agree with you that people need to realize the value of the elderly and their place in our lives and ours in theirs. So much is lost when we lose them.<br /><br />Thank you. He says some really sweet things sometimes. :)<br />Lots of folks have told me over the years that I am strong. I wish that I felt strong. Most of the time I feel like I'm on the edge of cliff, just waiting for something or someone to come along and push me on over the edge. But, somehow I do survive whatever test comes along.<br />Thank you for your encouragement and your comments.

They gave us a foundation of right from wrong and how to treat people. <br /><br />I share your worries about what happens when we become very old. I know that my children will do their very best for us if they are here and able, but I've seen and read too much about what happens that even families aren't always aware of. Our society as a whole needs to relearn to value the elders in each family. I loved David's response to you! We can all support and look after each other too, so no one feels hopeless and alone. I see you as empowered in that you stay strong for David, and you care about other people. I wish everyone was empowered in that way!Josie Two Shoeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18388032819905416258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7113402480415418715.post-69852656305088647552016-08-19T14:14:26.636-05:002016-08-19T14:14:26.636-05:00Thank you.

Right now I think that I am just very sad that Davey isn't home and that he's going onto a ship with no internet access, and that makes him feel even farther away.
