Glio plays for craps ! - We win the JACKPOT !

There's a song that goes

Saturday a walk in the park, every day's the Fourth of July

well, something like that. Well, today I was thinking

Living with Glio isn't a walk in the park, every day's more like a explosion in your head on the Fourth of July

I bad !

It's like being at the craps table in Las Vegas, you grab the dice, you blow on them, you kiss the air and you think ok Lady Luck just be with me this one time and give me a little love..let me win big this time...you throw the dice and whoops guess what that's right you CRAP OUT ! There isn't anything such as Lady Luck, there is only cold hard reality.

You roll over look at the other half of your heart and think that today when he wakes up he will speak clearly, he will walk better and he will be able to have a stronger day today ....whoops wrong...you just CRAPPED OUT !

Today is worse that yesterday, in fact today he spends most of the day in bed, today you realize that he can no longer walk, today you have graduated to the bedside commode, the wheelchair and fingerfoods. Now, you have to physically lift this man to and from bed.

You realize today that GLIO rolled the perfect score today. She has the chips in the win column and she thinks you are the BIG LOSER....WRONG AGAIN GLIO....guess what..in this family, we don't count on LADY LUCK, or Vegas odds, we put our FAITH and our wins in the GOD column.

Today a beautiful friend brought a home cooked meal to our door, and precooked meals for 3 more days. She brought cookies, pickles, bread, all the trimmings but most of all she brought herself. She didn't just come in throw the food on the table and walk out, she came, she visited and she ate with us. That says a lot about the food when she cooked it and ate it. We laughed, she sat with D and talked, but most of all she listened even when she couldn't understand what he said she just listened. Then the most beautiful thing happened, she opened up her heart and her GOD given talents and sang to us. She sang songs of inspiration and joy, of love and courage, she inspired us and blessed us with so much.

In the span of a few short hours she took away all the negatives of the day and filled the cup to over flowing once again. You see, while others may stand around and blow on dice, wish for LADY LUCK to come their way, we lift our eyes to the HEAVENS and PRAISE and SHOUT to our GOD for all the glorious winnings that came our way today in the shape of a beautiful friend named Angela - we hit the MEGA JACKPOT today !
