Evolution

I have thought a great deal about whether to keep the Feedin' Mama blog going, some folks have asked me about it. And while I never will say never, I think it is time to lay this aside at least for the moment. I miss Mama very, very much and I will forever be happy that I got to spend so much time with her and for the things I got to share here about taking care of her. I have not one regret about anything else I may or may not have been able to do and I believe that I did honor her in the fact that she was able to stay in her own home until the very end. I see so many, many older folks who aren't able to for many different reasons, most of them very valid, but there is always a tinge of sadness in their spirits and I am grateful that I was able to help Mama avoid that.

I am grateful for my family, my church family and friends and those of you here whose support made it possible. Thank you for encouraging me and listening to me.

I may come back here and post again, I still work mainly with older folks so I know I'll have more to share at some point. But for now I need a new perspective. I need a place to laugh and be joyful in this world where joy and laughter are often hard to find. So if you're looking for me, you can find me here for the time being.

Grace and peace to you all,
Betsy
