Four reasons I keep trying to live each day as a new day and celebrate each one.  Ronnie's Uncle Parnell and Aunt Alice have been another set of parents for each of us.  They were there when Ronnie and I needed a retreat from the St. Jude life.  I'm sure there were many weekends that they would have rathered not have company but never said a word.  We've enjoyed the fact that they are closer to us by living back home.  Maegan has another set of grandparents to love her like they've loved us.  Life is good!

My Daddy and Mama, Pete and Faye Riddell.  The two reasons I am alive today and they attempt to keep me straight.  Not an easy job and I'm very sure I contributed to the gray hair.  I could talk all day about how my Mama and Daddy have been my rock.  They have been that way not only to me but really anyone they came in contact with.  There were many people who came to stay the night and ended up there for  weeks at a time.  That is the kind of godly parents I have.

My middle "child" and my oldest "child".. It seems impossible to believe that they are both adults and have their own lives.  Julia is a very wonderful Mama to my fist granddaughter, Maegan.  Maegan is four years old and is in pre-K now.  We are so proud of Julia.  She's a strong woman and has a good support system behind her.  We're blessed with Maegan's dad and grandmother, who are fantastic to know and love. Josh is attending Mississippi State and will graduate in May with a degree in Industrial Engineering.  He has an internship with a company outside of Starkville.  We're so excited to see him growing and prospering into the man he is. 

And for our youngest daughter, Jenna.  She's pictured with her longtime love, Luke.  We are super happy that they love each other the way they do.  Not pictured is Lola, our granddog.  She's a year old Lab and super fiesty.  Jenna has grown into a woman who knows what she wants and works super hard to get it.  She's still her usual beautiful self!  We love Luke so very much.  He is also a very motivated young man.  I'm so very proud to have him in my daughter's life. 

Another picture of Maegan with Uncle Josh and Macey.  We couldn't be happier that these two found each other when they did.  Well, God put them together.  I firmly believe that.  Macey was accepted to Physical Therapist Assistant Program at Holmes Community College and begins the program in January.  We're so excited for her!  She's super sweet and loves my son like I do.

Can you tell someone has my heart?

Things have certainly not changed much after reading my last post.  I'm still just as crazy as ever.  My health issues have certainly intensified to say the least.  I'm not working anymore.  I haven't since November of 2014.  I'll go more into that later.  Well, I guess I'm typed out for now.  This will be all for now, folks!

Peace, love and in His service,
Susan
