My children didn't care.

Today is my father’s surgery… and my heart feels heavy. 🙏
Seeing someone we love lying in a hospital bed changes us. It reminds us how fragile life is and how deeply we depend on faith, hope, and love in moments like this.
My father has always been strong for everyone. He carried worries in silence, supported us when we were weak, and kept going even when life was hard. Today, he is the one who needs strength.
I know medicine has its role, and the doctors have their knowledge, but I also believe there is power in sincere prayers, kind thoughts, and words spoken with love.
May God guide every hand in that operating room and bring my father back safely, healed, and stronger. 🕊️❤️
Today, more than fear, I choose faith.

Today I turn 91 years old. I live alone on a quiet farm - no party, no guests... just me, and a birthday cake I made myself.

Today's Birthday Girl Joan Collins back in the day.

We didn’t grow up with a lot.
But somehow, we never felt like we were missing anything that mattered.
There was always a meal on the table, clean clothes to wear, and a steady reminder to say please and thank you.
Nothing fancy, nothing overdone—just simple care that showed up every single day.
Looking back, that’s what stayed with us.
The respect, the routine, the feeling of being looked after.
And the kind of home where even the smallest things meant something.

Through the years

“Grandma’s House”—It wasn’t just a house.
It was a sanctuary.
Tucked on the corner of an ordinary street,
But holy ground to me.
It smelled like cinnamon rolls and Ivory soap,
Like worn leather Bibles and hope.
Like something steady—
When the world outside wasn’t.
The floor creaked like it knew our footsteps,
Like it had memorized our laughter
And held it close
In case we forgot how to be joyful someday.
The couch had dents in just the right places
From years of bedtime stories,
Kleenex tucked in sleeves,
And hands folded in prayer that no one else saw.
Her house was a quiet kind of magic—
No glitter, no noise, just safety.
Just someone who saw you fully
Even when you didn’t say a word.
She was soft in a way that made you brave,
Strong in a way that never made a sound.
She didn’t ask the world to notice her—
But somehow, everything good came from her touch.
When the world was too sharp,
Her arms softened it.
When I doubted myself,
She believed loud enough for both of us.
Now her house sits still—
The chair by the window doesn’t rock anymore.
The kettle doesn’t hum like it used to.
But sometimes when I walk in,
I swear I can still feel her.
I can hear her humming.
Smell her Sunday roast.
Feel her hand on my back saying,
“It’s going to be okay, baby. You’re home.”
And maybe that’s the thing about grandmas—
They never truly leave.
They build homes in hearts,
And teach you how to return to them
Whenever the world gets too heavy.
So I carry her with me.
In the way I speak softly when someone’s tired,
In the way I pour love into food,
In the way I open the door wide
And say, “Come on in. You’re safe here.”
Because Grandma’s house wasn’t just a place.
It was a feeling.
And I’ll spend the rest of my life
Trying to give it away
The way she gave it to me.
