When Life goes Sideways-A letter to my Grandchildren

When Life Goes Sideways

Dearest Grand-littles,

I was rolling along doing my pre-christmas jobs when life went sideways. One day I was working on my NanaHood Facebook page and it was acting kind of weird but by the next day, I had no control over it. 50,000 likes and followers and I couldn’t message them or talk to them anymore!. I tried every help link, wrote every person I could for help, but no response. Evidently Facebook isn’t big on customer service.

I cried, I moaned, I kept writing the help desk every single day for weeks, but not one single person reached out to me. I gave up and I have a new page at https://www.facebook.com/nanahoodbyTeresaKindred

Not happy about it. but that was nothing compared to what happened next.

Poppa contracted Covid-19 and within the space of a week his lung collapsed and now he is on a ventilator.

Suddenly my Facebook problem seemed pretty insignificant.

The hospital won’t let me be with poppa and last night I woke up and heard him calling my name plain as day. I sat up in bed with my heart pounding and dissolved into tears.

I know how I’m supposed to act. I know I have faith and I know that God’s will, will be done but that doesn’t stop me from being scared and wishing I could take his place.

God loves poppa and will care for him. Nana just has to practice on her prayers and patience.

When Life Goes Sideways

Life goes sideways at times little ones, and when those hard times come look to Jesus. He will get you though. He helps me every single day. So pray for Poppa and for Nana too. We will get through this.

  2. Teresa,

    I am sorry to learn about your husband getting Covid and now being on a ventilator. Hoping he recovers fully. I’m sure he feels the love of your family even if you can’t be with him in person. You’re in my thoughts.

  16. Teresa, I came to your Facebook page this morning to check on you and Bill be forewarned I prayed for you. Please know how much you are loved and admired and that I will continue to lift both of you up in prayer each day. I know from experience how agonizing it is to have your husband be fighting for his life. I also know what it’s like to lose him… on Christmas Day. Out of the blue. Fine one minute and gone the next. I am walking with you in spirit and in prayer. Love, Brenda
