What's been going on here

   I haven't posted anything in over a year.  Sorry about that for those of you that actually look at my blog.  I've had alot going on just in the past 6 months.  First of all, my brother, Charlie passed away in April due to rejection from his lung transplant.  He also had a lung transplant in September 2010 due to cystic fibrosis.  I had many mixed emotions about him passing away.  I started blaming myself for him having the transplant in the first place.  Thinking that he would not have had the transplant without me convincing him to have it, but that wasn't the case at all.  He was on continuous oxygen and his portable tank only lasting 4 hours before having to be refilled.  It was just very hard for me to deal with his loss.  Then I felt like I wasn't there for my mom because I was an emotional mess.  I couldn't imagine losing one of your children.  You know "footprints in the sand" plaques, I totally felt like there was only one set of footprints in the sand because I knew that the Lord was carrying me.
    On a lighter note, I have finally found a new blog layout and I am currently working on it.  So it should be up before to long.  Thanks to all of you who have continually prayed for me and my family.  We couldn't have got through any of this without the prayers.
