September flashbacks

Wow what a month!!! Where did it go. We started with community days and I don't know what happened after that. Its all a blurr. Grandma Cox gathering us all at the Hospital ER. I don't even know how everyone found out so fast. The hospital in Moses Lake & Spokane couldn't even believe so many family members would come for one person. So she should feel very loved. We are just so thankful they found the problem and stopped the bleeding. 5 pints of blood later she is feeling better and on the mend. One thing her illness did was reunite us with our cousin Karlene in Spokane. We were able to stay at her house while mom was in the hospital and we were so grateful for her hospitality. If you ever have a chance you need to visit her. Her house is listed as a historical site in Spokane and so interesting to tour. The month ended being able to celebrate mom's 84th birthday. So glad she is still with us and getting her health back. Another milestone was Ed turning 70. Wow that used to seem so old but he seems much younger than the 70 year olds I used to know growing up. He hasn't slowed much - maybe thats why he seems young still. He still works, still restores cars & tractors and still grows pumpkins. I'm hoping he at least outlives his 90 year old mother. Life just keeps racing by and there's no stopping it. My only advice is - if your mom and dad are still alive give them a call once in a while, tell them you love them, and appreciate all they have done for you. You are who you are because of them. We are a lucky family cause there's not a bad apple in the bunch!!!! Love you all!!!!
