Writers Block

I am horrible at thinking of titles. It takes me longer to think of a title than it does to write an entry.
I haven't written for a couple of days because I haven't really had anything to write about.
I've just been keeping my nephew and doing everyday stuff.

My grandparents came down from Nashville yesterday. It's only a 30 minute or so drive from here. They came to see my nephew but stopped by my house also. It struck me yesterday that my Grandfather has really aged lately. He is 81 and all of a sudden he seems like it. He used to seem younger than he actually was. He didn't remember that he was the one who hung our blinds in the kitchen and living room last year. My Grandmother mentioned on the phone tonight that he seems to forget a lot lately. Just in the last couple of years I have observed her going from her role as his wife to more of his caregiver at times. I know that no one is ever ready to loose a loved one, but the reality has hit me that my grandparents probably don't have many years left. I am in no way ready for them to not be on this earth. I know that it is selfish for me to say that. I know that they are both Christians and that they have a much better place waiting for them, but I want them here.
The grandparents I'm talking about are my mom's parents. My father's dad died years ago and my father's mother lives in Florida. I can count the number of times I've seen her almost on one hand. I love her, because she is my grandmother, but she has never been much of a grandmother to me. My mom's parents are like having two sets of grandparents. They are a big part of my life .
My grandfather is having knee replacement surgery on the 16'th. I pray that he comes through the surgery and the rehab well. I think seeing him yesterday looking kind of frail and then him getting ready to have surgery, just have me a little worried.

I am going to the cabin on Monday. Not sure if I am coming back on Tuesday or Wednesday. I described the cabin in an earlier post. I just need to get away and spend some time alone with God. I have a test on friday that I need to do some studying for, and I need to do it somewhere without distractions. I will blog about the test another day. It's something I have purposely not blogged about, I'm waiting to see how things go first.

It's been a long time since I looked forward to going to Church. The last couple of days I have been excited that Sunday is almost here. It's a very nice change.
