Status over the month of September

Another month has passed by so fast.

I was hospitalized for almost a week, and for the first time it was psychologically very difficult, because my thoughts were with Lars all the time. I was worried - hoping he could cope.

It has been a month with ups and down regarding Lars. He has had 3 transitoisk cerebraansand a  a minor facialisparese.
We are grateful for the home care - they help us so much.
Beside the home care, our children help out the best they can - depite having a busy day.

There has been "Scrap in Djursland" - I had promised to collect cards www.operationwritehome.dk  when it was clear I could not attend, a dear friend took care of it. Thank you Jannie Thorgersen. 
The cards collected were 430 cards.These cards were sent to Charlie Johansen today. 






Where did the month of August go?


This past month has flown away so fast. There has been so much that I hardly know where to begin.


Our son Jimmy has moved back to Denmark. He made the decision after a short vacation with us in July. He had not seen Lars for approx. 1 year and he wanted to be more close so he could help.He spoke with his friends here in DK and in the UK. Everyone said that Jimmy would follow his heart. I told Jimmy that I love him. That I anproud of him - and that I loved him even more just to consider doing this. But I also knew that his heart and life were back in Britain and that it was a sacrifice none of us would ask for. He replied: I do not ask I give. It is my choice


Lars had a minor setback. Now he has a hospital bed and other things that can help him in the daily life. We are grateful to live in a country where we can borrow such things for free. 

We are so blessed with 3 children and a son-in-law with great, warm, caring, forgiving and loving hearts. They help and encourage us so much.

I would like to thank our Lord, for showing us through other people, the way we ought to live. We've had some take us to hospital, sitting in in interviews with doctors or just being there for us when things wasn't good.
They are such an inspiration for us. They show us the true meaning of being a disciple of Christ, and living as Christ lived: in the service of thy neighbor.
