Circle of Life

It's a strange thing this circle of Life. God sure knows what he is doing though, He's got the whole thing under control. This past week has been pretty tramatizing to my young soul. Early in the week I got the Hand, Foot and Mouth virus. Thanks to all your prayers, I'm almost fully recovered! And my cousin William who was visiting last weekend did NOT catch it from me, so for that I am thankful. But then later in the week, we lost poor Turk. But I believe in that 1980's cartoon movie "All Dogs go to Heaven" so I think I'll see him again one day. But my mother, the dear thing, with all her raging pregnancy hormones has been bawling for two straight days. I haven't seen Dad cry, but I know he's struggling as well. It's a long sad story that I really don't want to delve into right now, but thank goodness we have Ophelia (who we also think is really missing Turk).

But I titled this post "Circle of Life" because God has a way of bringing some happiness into your life just when something bad happens. Kinda like in the first season of Lost, in the same episode when Boone died, Claire delivered Aaron! Well, same thing here. We lost one member of our family, but we are soon gaining three!!! You see, my Great Grandpa is getting quite frail and needs full time care. So he's going to move in my downstairs! And then Grammy and Gramps are going to move in as well to be his care givers. So all three are in the process this weekend of moving in! It's been a busy weekend. I had to move ALL my toys upstairs, but it fun learning how to finally go down stairs on my own. I already knew how to go up, but now I can go down! It will be interesting with three new people in the house for a time, but I'm looking forward to it!
