I'm Feeling a Little Better, Today

Yesterday, I was in a upheaval.  I just didn't know what to do with myself.
We'd brought my Dad to a nursing home which will now be his permanent home,
and I thought I wasn't going to be able to stand it.

My friend, Sister Bertha, lives in the same town where my Dad will be and she
promised to come by and visit him every day.  I told her I'd appreciate it if she just
checked on him once in a while, because I know how life is. Then we discussed
going to church last night.  Later she had to call me back and say she couldn't make it.
Her daughter was bringing people to visit her.

So, here I am, last night, not knowing what to do with myself, I was so sad.  And
not able to make myself even get up and go to church without my friend to encourage me to
do so.  David was no help, because when he gets really sad, he just goes to bed.  I promised myself I would go the following day.

The next morning, I could still hardly make myself go.  At nearly church time, I called my
sister and told her that I just couldn't even make it if I couldn't get somebody to go with me.
I didn't call my friend, because I was already late.  My sister, who said she wasn't going,
went with me and made her daughter go (although my niece pouted the whole way).
We were late, but I am really glad we went anyway, because I could feel my heart healing a tiny bit.

Later, we saw my Dad and he was fine.  So, yes, I'm feeling a little better today.
