Today is the centenary of the birth of Frances Anastasia Crory O’Connell Stoddard, my Mom. It was my intention to have a nice supper out with my two sisters and toast our mother and share stories about her.
My eye situation made that impossible; so I concelebrated the 5:30pm and offered it for her and for Blanche Borowski Crony and Arthur John Crory, her parents. When my sisters, my brother-in-law (Rick Thompson), and assorted relatives are in Myrtle Beach around the 11th Of November, we’ll celebrate our Mom.
My eye situation is a kind of “wait and see” solution. I now am on anti-biotics and steroids and maybe in the next week or so, the “double vision” might disappear. Because I am wearing an eye patch, it is difficult for me to read and/or type; so I think I’ll skip writing till things change. I will try to just hang out in my suite, take naps, and listen to TV. Keep me in your prayers that I can use this “quieting” time to pray and be at peace.
