A postscript

I have reviewed all the posts on my blog that have been my life. I do have some regrets but even with those I still would do the same thing. If it was possible to choose events that could have been stopped. Number 1 would be the death of my father. I remember him as a happy guy with a great smile and warm arms that gave wonderful hugs. Number 2 would be that our daughter could have lived to a full life. She had so much to give to others. Number 3 the death of our grandson Nichols. So young with a whole life ahead of him. My brother and I were brought up to believe in God. He is our Saviour. So he knows why he called all of these, his children home to Heaven. "Ours, not to ask why but, just do and then go home also."

We have a wonderful Son. Golly, Not many people believed that we would even make a year of marriage. WE FOOLED YOU!! Whatever I have accomplished in life I owe to my Mother. She set the standard for me to follow. I have strayed from the straight path`many times, but the sound of her voice in my ears and the strong hand of God have pulled me back from the brink of many bad mistakes. She helped both my brother and I KNOW that we must learn to lean on God, HIS love and FORGIVENESS to move forward in our lives.
LIFE TRULY HAS BEEN A RAINBOW!

July 2, 2010
We are looking forward to a summer trip to visit friends and family. Our grandson Peter with his sweet wife Jenny has given us 3 beautiful great grandchildren. The Oldest "Will", Robert William Stilling named for both of his great grandfathers begins the next generation of the Stilling family. How proud his Great great grandfather Nels Peter Stilling would have been. Sidney. FINALLY we have a grand daughter. She is just what every grandmother hopes for in a granddaughter. Then Samuel the youngest. Really hoping to get to know him much better this visit.

A visit with our Son John and the 2 other grandsons. Vaughn who is a number1"fixer" of most anything. In fact all of the boys are very knowledgeable with tools. Just runs in the family. Then there is Kyle our former Marine. He did two tours in Iraq and again God was kind and kept him safe to come home. He is studying to become a surgical Nurse. Blessings each and everyone of them. They are all the colors in my RAINBOW.
