SORRY.
; - (
...i want to thank everyone that wrote me an email, comments on my blog, or private messages on facebook concerned about my absents.
My Mother has been very ill for months. It has taken all of her 4 children to see to her needs. Between jobs, family, and caring for Mother, my blog has been neglected. I thought about my blog and 'YOU'a lot ...but there was never enough 'time' to write. Or I didn't have the energy.
Mother is better, not 100%....we have sitters for her now.
Please say a prayer for her.
There's power in prayer.
Love to all...
xoxoxo











Glad to hear your mother is feeling better. She is lucky to have her children near to care for her with love. I've been thinking about you too and knew you'd post again when the time was right.
Miss you too.

Please share your mother's name. I will be praying for your family. There is nothing like a mother's love. What a blessing to have all of your siblings.
May the Lord bless you all. Hang in there.

I was concerned your time was being taken up with things more important. I'm glad your Mom is doing better. I pray that God will give her renewed strength and your family the grace and wisdom you need as you care for her.
We'll enjoy hearing about you and your sweet little family when there is more time. Take care!

Tina, happy to hear your Mom is better.
I've been where you are so I know
how difficult and time consuming
caring for our parents can be. A
couple of things I learned while
taking care of my Mom was you have
to take care of yourself and save
some time for YOU!
Your blog is the first blog I visited
years ago and is still the first blog
I check each morning....you've been
missed! Take care of yourself and when
you feel like blogging again, all your
friends will be here waiting for updates
from Cherry Hill Cottage.
Prayers to you and your family. Take care!

I had been checking your blog every day for a long time. Then when you weren't posting I just figured you were busy with your cute little grandbaby.
Sorry to hear about your mother. I am glad she is on the mend. Hope to be reading here again soon!

I also checked every day. I missed you very much. You always bring a lot of joy to me as you share. After a while I felt like there was something wrong. I will surely pray for your Mother and all of you as you care for her. I had the privilege to take care of my Mom also. God is good and He will supply ALL your needs. Glad to know the reason for your absence. Now we know how to pray.

Hi Tina,
I'm so glad to hear that you are doing well. I have missed your posts. I am a hopeless lover of RED and your blog is the first one that always comes to mind when I need a cheery red pick me up.
I hope things settle a bit and that your Mom continues to improve.
Blessings,
Carolynn

So glad to see you back. I understand about taking care of an aging Mother and other family. It is draining and rewarding at the same time. I am praying for you and your family. Don't forget though, you must take care of yourself as well.
Hugs!
