My journey!

I'm having a hard day. Maybe it's because I've been constantly on the go for the past week or maybe I'm just tired. Whatever the case, I wanted to share a little today. So here is a poem that I read at Ezzy's Celebration of Life.

“I’ll lend you for a little time a child of mine,” He said,

“For you to love while he lives and mourn for when he’s dead.

It may be six or seven years, or twenty-two or three,

But will you, till I call him back, take care of him for Me?

He’ll bring his charms to gladden you, and should his stay be brief,

You’ll have his lovely memories as solace for your grief.

“I cannot promise he will stay, since all from earth return.

But there are lessons taught down there I want this child to learn.

I’ve looked the wide world over in My search for teachers true,

And from the throngs that crowd life’s lanes I have selected you.

Now will you give him all your love, nor think the labor vain,

Nor hate Me when I come to call to take him back again?”

I fancied that I heard them say, “Dear Lord, Thy will be done!

For all the joy Thy child shall bring, the risk of grief we’ll run.

We’ll shelter him with tenderness, we’ll love him while we may,

And for happiness we’ve known, forever grateful stay;

But should the angels call for him much sooner than we’ve planned,

We’ll brave the bitter grief that comes and try to understand.”

 He was a ball of happiness and joy. It makes so happy to know that he truly knew what love was and also makes me extremely sad because I miss him so much!

I also wanted to share some of my weight loss journey with you. As I have said, I had gastric bypass on 3-25-20. Here are some of the pictures since then.

I'm a work in progress. I use to take a fist full of pills every morning and every evening but now only take 3 prescriptions pills at night and I also take vitamins. Not to shabby I think.

Thank you for sharing my journey with me! Have a blessed night!
