Family Vacation In St Augustine

We knew this was could be a trying vacation, Mom would be out of her normal routine and we did not know how she would handle it.  We were praying for the best and God answered our prayers, she did great.  We are all thankful that we have had one more great family vacation.  We had 4 generations represented on this trip.  Mom & Dad, all of their children & spouses, most of our children and their spouses and their children.  We had a total of 21 people sharing 4 condo's.  It is still hard for her at times, she has trouble with names and trying to explain something but we all help her out. She  enjoyed seeing our South Carolina & Texas family because she just sees them twice a year-- at the beach and at Christmas.  She got to see the grandkids enjoy the pool and her favorite thing to do is sit and watch the ocean.  She can't get down to the beach anymore but was able to watch it from her condo every day at lunch.  I thank God for giving us this special time where everyone can be together and we can enjoy each others company.  I know there will be difficult times ahead as we fight this awful disease and I pray that we can all stay supportive of each other.  It is not just one person who is effected but all of us are touched by this disease.  We all travel this journey differently, even in the same family.  Praying that we all come together in harmony as we travel this road.  Nehemiah 9:27  "But in their time of trouble they cried to you and you heard them from heaven"
