My Brother Jon

Jon

OK, the "look" is for me. He was letting me know that he doesn't like his picture taken. Like a true sister, that didn't stop me from taking his picture. Here in this photo he is cleaning and straightening Eva's garage. He is a great handyman and his VERY organized. He has a special "touch"... a mess would look good if he just touched it. Do you know what I mean? For those of you that are keeping score, I have two brothers. I am the oldest; Jon is four years younger; David is ten years younger; and Krista (died at age 20, 1992) was 16 years younger than me. I was born in 1955, during the Happy Days era. Disneyland opened that year too. Both of my brothers have a great sense of humor. David is really quick and can rapid fire off jokes. Jon is more quite and more sarcastic... but very fun to be around. They could have both been comedians.

In True Sisterly Fashion... I took another picture for good measure. All of that stuff was neatly gone through and stored by the time I came back again. Good job Jon, looking out for Eva.

Last night when I spoke to my mom she sounded very tired and old. I hope she doesn't read this (although I don't think she will in the hospital). She said that the test they gave her, where they take a tube and with a camera to look for bleeding, went well. We will not know what the results are until tomorrow. She said that if there isn't anything there, they will go "the other way" and check that direction. She will not be getting out of the hospital for a few days. She had a heart valve surgery in 2002, so she does have heart problems. She has many pills that she takes for Diabetes 2 etc. She isn't in the best of health. So, yeah, I am a little concerned. I also so know that people grow old and the pass on. The timing of it is in the Lord's hands. Is that this time? One never knows for sure. I don't think it is but it a step towards that day somehow. Here is a picture of us a few years ago: Mom, Me, Kari (21), and Brittany (11) in clockwise order before she had the heart surgery. Please keep praying and thinking good thoughts. I really appreciate it. HUGS
