I am so glad you posted the update! Your family has been in my thoughts a lot. Things are very much the same here with my family.
Even though we have very expensive insurance that must be paid with each paycheck bills are still very high. When hubs needed surgery the part we had to pay was over 2 months of salary. We are lucky and can get the funds.
That is not the case with extended family members. Seems someone in the family always has an emergency. I really could relate when you said you wonder if it will ever end. Seems like every time we start to do well something else comes up. I sometimes think my own household may never prosper. But at the same time feel blessed that we can help.
Wish I could meet your lolo. I love to chat with and hear the wisdom and stories of the old ones. He looks like a man who would have a lot to tell.
Since he got sick, he lost his voice. It must have been from the meds and his cough so we give him honey and lemon which is making it better. Thank the bees! :D And he is hard of hearing he has to wear hearing aids. It is quite a challenge to have a conversation with him. He tries to play with the kids but even that is an effort for him so he is content with watching them.
It is a wonder and an amazing thing how we are able to get by and get through these things.
Wishing and praying for good health to you and the family.
Well then it would be a comical one sided convo indeed.
I think one of the best aids in getting through the troubles is a good strong spirit.
Remember when you broke the glass? Your inner voice warned you in advance.
Good thing people like us have a good internal guidance system. We need every advantage we can get.
Same to you and yours. Hope you write more about them especially your lolo I suspect he is quite a character.
He sometimes has to lip read and can understand more easily if we speak in our native tongue. He will warn us when his hearing aid is not on. Sometimes we talk to him without realizing he did not put his aids on. He would laugh and tell you so.
