Bits of Life and True Love
Every day my husband shows me true love. He has been for over 14 years now. So I am going to blog his love for me! To do so there will be comparisons at times to my first husband & marriage. This is not to "bash" or harp on him or those years. It's purely MY LIFE. This is more like a diary of my heart & life. Not really for anyone but me, but if anyone can learn through my mistakes (past and present). Then I pray that God will use my life to his Glory!

Goodbye my Love! On October 10, 2021 at 3am the love of my life James Davis Grant went home to Heaven! He died after only five days. He got sick and I took him to the hospital. They tested him and he tested positive for the Delta Variant of Covid-19. They wouldn't let me stay with him. But three days later the Dr. called at 4am and told me he had taken a turn for the worse and had crashed and would not survive. He told me to call our three adult children and to come in and say goodbye even though James was already so far gone he wouldn't know we were even there. We went in and other than to come home and take a nap and grab a shower twice I was there till the end. I was holding his hand when he took his last breath. The next few days were a blur as we made decisions for his funeral. My Mom and Sister flew in. How do you reconcile the loss of your heart? How do you comfort your three grown children and grandchildren who are only 8, 5, 1 and 5 months old? How do you figure out how to go on with life and pick up the pieces? How do you try to even think about paying bills, fixing a broken van, paying for a funeral, getting a job when you have been bed ridden for 12 years when all you want to do is curl up in a ball? How can I carry this load? How can I do all that this man has done for me for so very long plus walk through this valley? God I need your strength! I will be writing on Granny Grizzly In AK (AudOneWidow) Blog from now on. Thank you to anyone who takes the time to read.

Happy 14th Anniversary!!
Fourteen years! How has this wonderful man not only put up with and stayed with me through 14 long years of sickness, more than health. He has been so very good to me! He takes care of me day and night even when he's sick. I don't deserve any of the wonderful things that he has done to take care of me for so long, with not one word of complaint!
I love this man more than words can express and Thank God for giving me to him every single day!! I love you, James Davis and am so very thankful and proud that God has put us together as Man and Wife!!
Love,
HB

Joy of His Salvation!
It is incredible seeing life through my husband's eyes sometimes!
He is a very quiet and shy man and has to know you well to let his guard down. But he has a love and joy of giving and special occasions that makes him funny at times.
IE: Holidays, birthdays... He won't go to sleep till after midnight so he can sneak in all the kids rooms (or the birthday child) whisper Happy Birthday! Or MERRY CHRISTMAS, Happy Anniversary (to me), and gives them a kiss while they sleep! It's just his thing!
But...this is what makes him the man of God that I love so much! He just came in to check on me and give me a kiss. And while he was here he looked at the clock with a big smile, "In 27 min. It will be by Spiritual Birthday! I will have been saved 35 years!!
Then, as he does every year, and as he will with the kids tomorrow, told me his testimony of Salvation!
It is such a wonderful tradition that as each of our children have gotten saved we keep that date special and write them all on the Calendar and they count down till its their Spiritual Birthday, then on that day we sit around as a family and they tell their testimony of Salvation!
It's not something they have to do, we have never asked or told them to... They WANT to, they ask to, they can't wait for it! And I love that through his joy, and love of something so special in his life and openly sharing it with the kids he has shown them it is a wonderful thing to be happy and thankful for and it's not just for testimony time at church!
I am truly blessed! In 1 min. HAPPY 35th JAMES!
He's trying to hug me. He's soaking wet, he just got out of the Lake!! |
I couldn't resist him ~ I stayed DRY, but gave him a kiss!! |

Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day
A
dear and treasured friend of mine posted this on her Face Book. I did not know
about it till now.
Pregnancy and Infant Loss Remembrance Day is a day of remembrance for pregnancy loss
and infant death, which includes but is not limited to miscarriage, stillbirth,
SIDS, or the death of a newborn. It is observed annually in the United States
and Canada and, in recent years, in the United Kingdom and in the Australian
State of New South Wales, on October 15th .
The day is observed with remembrance ceremonies and candle-lighting vigils, concluding with the International Wave of Light, a worldwide lighting of candles.

I love you! You know we have
talked before about my miscarriages, but I never knew there was a special day
set aside for other's to remember and show love and support! I have always
taken time on Dec.3rd to
remember my babies because that was the date of my first miscarriage. I found I
had to remember and love them but was wasting time God had given me with my
family and friends by remembering every date of each miscarriage, every
"would have been birthday"…
I don't understand God's reasons
or plans for why so many of my Babies have gone to Heaven so soon. So I have
just always considered the day I lost Tara as my day of remembrance. It is
comforting to know that there is a day where other people remember and
recognize the horrible pain and loss that parents suffer. I love you and am
praying for you, as always!
Thank You Jessie, this will make
this Dec. 3rd the easiest one
I have had in 20 yrs!
