Good morning, Thursday morning at that. I hope this finds you all well. We have had some bad weather come through again last night, storms. It’s that time of year, even with the WORLD turned upside down, the Spring storms still come.
As well as the storms in our lives. These have been some of the worst of time for me, I can tell you that. As far as my loved ones hurting with loss, my son worried about his dad Mr. Shabby, with his first little one due any day- But, right now there are Angels signing in Heaven as they welcome one of their own
You see, yesterday afternoon my sweet daughter in law that is due so very soon and already dilated some with my precious Grandson Jackson lost her sweet Mother. My son let me know the news early last night, and I cried and cried for a few reasons.
She is leaving her husband, 2 daughters that seem to adore her, 6 beautiful grandchildren that also adored her, and one that will not meet her just yet. My daughter in law in 35, I had my Mother until I was 53 and I know how hard it was to let go then. Her mother had been sick with cancer and she surly gave it her all, staying here on this earth much longer than they said she would. I had the wonderful privilege of meeting her. She was sweet, soft-spoken, you could tell her heart was a thousand times her size a kindred spirit for sure. So, please remember my daughter on law Chrystal and her family in your prayers for the next few days, weeks.
When I went to bed I could not sleep, I thought ok, Mr. Shabby is out and about in this pandemic seeming to not have a care in the world, seeming! I thought he seems to not care about life yet Chrystal’s mother fought hard for hers. Sometimes things are just so beyond our control. I continue to pray that God will deliver Mr. Shabby from his demons, but right now my heart goes out to my daughter in law, my son, and their family.
I also pray for myself that I can be here and be the best Nana to my sweet little Jackson to be that I can. He too has been cut short before entering this earth. He will be born with one less that would have loved him with all her heart and born to his mama and daddy as none of us can be there during this awful COVID19. I have stopped watching much of the news because it is one thing one day and something totally different the next day. I have begun to wonder about this COVID 19 as have many.
Ok, I am going to get off my soapbox on the COVID19 and get back to what was important today, prayers for my daughter in law and her family, please. God bless you all, with my eye blurry from the tear I have not been posting as I did, forgive me, keep coming to the blog for me and support it daily I do need that if you would be so kind.
Be well, take care of yourselves and I will see you again here soon.
Love,
Debbie
Oh Debbie I am SO sorry to hear this news! I can’t imagine the pain Chrystal is going through! And I know it breaks your heart to see her and your son go through this grief at one of the happiest times in their life! I am praying for Chrystal and her family and all who knew and loved her sweet Mama.
Thank you, Theresa, I miss seeing you on the FB page. How are you, I pray you’re good.
I pray for God to comfort your family during your time of grief. The loss of a loved one brings great sadness but the birth of a loved one brings great joy. Made God give you strength to carry you through these hard times. I’m 60 and I know how lucky I am to still have my Mom. I’m thankful for her every day. Take care.
Thank you!

Many prayers for your daughter in law and her family during these sad days. May God give strength and peace.
Debbie. keep strong and safe. God is with you always. Hugs
I am so sorry! Such sad news any time but seems especially sad at this time. Praying for your daughter-in-law and her family. Also praying for your son, you and Mr. Shabby. Take care sweet lady. Love and prayers
Debbie I hated to hear that it was Crystal’s Mom, knowing that she was pregnant and due so soon. I too lost my Dad (my favorite) when I was 8 months pregnant and I can tell you its the worst roller coater of emotions to go from losing a beloved parent to then your child being born. In my case I think God allowed it on purpose knowing I never could have made it thru losing him. I’m praying for her! And then you hate it that your baby never got to meet that grandparent but I chose to believe my Dad got to meet my son after leaving. God bless her and Jackson too. Love you Debbie. Just keep praying for Mr. Shabby too which I know you do.
Prayers go out for your daughter in law on the loss of her mother. And to the whole family and friends. God Bless you all. And the arrival of a new life. ♥️
I will be praying for you precious daughter in law and your son, as the new baby comes into the world and a dearly love mother leaves this world. Hugs and prayers to all of you. Elaine
Praying for peace and comfort for you, your son, daughter in law, a family. And you will be a great Nana to your newest grand baby! Praying for your daughter in law for an easy delivery! Grace, peace, and love sweet friend!🙏🙏❤️
I am so sorry for the loss of your DIL’s dear mama. I am 66 and still have my Mom so I feel so sad for those less blessed. And to lose her b4 the birth of baby Jackson is especially sad. Plus the funeral service is delayed with this COVID-19 and loving friends and family are not allowed to gather and comfort the family or each other. My thoughts are with you 💔
Oh, I am so very sorry about the passing of your dsughter-in-law’s mither. That is heartbreaking. My mother passed away a few months before my granddaughter was born and will never know what a wonderful Great Grandma she would have had. It is so sad. Will pray for comfort and peace of mind for your dsughter-in-law, your son and the entire family. 😢😢🙏🙏💕💕
Debbie we love you, the life you have that you share with us, your ups and downs and trials, being able to pray for a sister in Christ just draws us closer to the Lord . I will be praying for you and especially for youe daughter-in-law, and as always Mr. Shabby.
May God grant you comfort as only He can.
*Big Hugs* Covid-19 or not! 💜
Debbie, I’m so sorry. I will be praying for you and your family especially your daughter-in-law. I know it’s so hard for her to lose her mom at this time. I’m also praying for your healing. My mother had the same problem with her eye years ago and she healed and never had any more problems with it. That’s my prayer for you. I know it’s hard for you to not be with your family during this sad time. Just remember that God is with all of you and He will give each of you what you need for the moment.💕Terri
Prayers for you daughter in law, Jackson, Mr Shabby and also for you! Life does get difficult at times for us all. Like you I am tired of all the Covid19 in the media right now. I will go now go checkout your ads. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
So very sorry for your family’s loss, but Heaven’s gain. All of you can show pictures of her to Jackson and let him know how special she was. My great granddaughter never knew her grandfather, but every time she sees a photo of him, she lets you know that is her granddaddy. He is waiting I. Heaven to hold her for the first time. Praying for all of you.
Debbie you have my condolences. I will add your family to my prayers. When I wash my hands .. instead of a song I use that time to pray. Be safe and take carea!
Dear Debbie,
I feel so badly that your daughter in law has lost her mother at this time that should be filled with happiness and love. My prayers are with you and them and of course Jackson. I am A believer and I feel as though she will be there with them. Had she still be alive she wouldn’t have been able to be there. Now she will in spirit be with her precious daughter and grandson. God is watching over you all and “this too shall pass”. Think of all the time you can be with him after this time has been over. I will keep you all in my prayers.
God Bless
Kathy
Debbie: Losing a loved one is never a good time….we accept what we cannot change but it can be hard at times to get past the grieving period. Your daughter-in-law and son will have mixed emotions happy and sadness but with the new baby on the horizon, lets hope for more happy than sad. It sounds as though her Mother suffered a terrible disease of cancer and was probably in a great deal of pain. That is gone now and she is wrapped in the arm of our Lord and there is only good and happy now. Praying for you also Deb..you have had a time of it and with your Mom’s compassion and your Dad’s grit..you will make it..not so easy sometimes but you will. Also praying for Mr Shabby and with that, that he will never give up trying to end his addiction. As Always Joyce
So sorry for your families loss. Praying for strength and comfort for you all
I am so sorry for the loss of your daughter-in-law’s mother and all the family. My heart goes out to each and everyone. I pray Mr. Shabby will surrender his demons to the Lord, as well as others in the grips of addiction. Yes it makes you wonder about all this Covid stuff. I pray you stay well and may God wrap his loving arms around you and your family!
Our Dear Heavenly Father, Thank you for this precious Family and we lift them up into your loving arms for protection, peace, mercy and comfort. Be with them all through this most difficult time in all ways. May your presence soothe them and carry them during this time. We ask it in Jesus’s name. Amen!
It is so comforting and uplifting to know that You, Gina, are a complete stranger to me, & maybe to Debbie as well, yet we are Sisters in Christ, our Lord, and can lift one another up by praying! God loves us and loves us to pray!
Your prayer is so nice ~ Blessings
Debbie, your post has made my heart heavy. I am so sorry to hear about your daughter-in-law losing her sweet mother, with her grandchild on the way. Only God know why life hands us the dilemmas. I think it causes to make us strong and to pray more and trust Him more. This awful covid virus has only made us more vulnerable to adversity and we don’t seem to care enough to try and control it. It’s sad to have a baby and no one share your joy. It’s sad to have a funeral and no one to help console and comfort you. Yet, God is always there, He knows our every need. He will help us get through this. Prayers and hugs for better days ahead. Stay safe. Love, PAM
Many prayers and blessings send to you and your family. The precious little baby will have a newly appointed angel watching out for him/her. God counts every tear and yours and your families are all being collected by the One who Truly Cares for us. Let His peace and Love wrap you up. May you & your daughter in law feel the very presence of His Comfort.
Debbie, you and your family, daughter-in-law and her family are all in my thoughts and prayers. I’m praying for the birth of your grandson and for your eye to heal completely. I also pray for Mr Shabby that he can beat these demons in his life. I wondered how he was doing.
I pray that God will continue to be with all of us as our lives as we knew it has been rocked to the very core and everything has changed. I’m afraid of our future and what it will be. I don’t think it will ever be like it was.
Love, Elaine Smith
Prayers for you and your family and Mr Shabby also. These are the worst times I can remember in my time. Just hope and pray that all of us come through this wiser and kinder. When I had a hole (tear) in my retina, they drained my eyeball and filled it with gas. I had to stay face down for a week to allow the gas to rise and heal the tear. It worked. I still have a little bit of distortion from scar tissue but much better than it was. I hope yours heals completely. I think of you often.
Love and virtual hugs.
I can’t imagine her pain . Praying for all
Of you .
Take care ,
💗 Beth
