Annette: My name is Annette. I am the long time wife to my same old husband, mom to 4 adult kids, 3 sweet grand-son's, and two precious miraculous grand daughters. Since 2003 I have cared for people who are working toward leaving this earth in their own homes. Death and dying are topics we as a society do not like to discuss...but its an event that we all are participating in. I am forever changed because of the brave, frightened, stoic, noble, often hilarious, sometimes angry people I have been honored to care for. We are also a family with a long, multi-generational history of addiction and mental health struggles. It is in these places, walking with with those I love so deeply, that I have experienced God's grace, humility, and compassion. We all come with our imperfections and our rough edges. Let us walk gently with one another. I selfishly share my stories here as my place to process my experiences. I hope you read something in this space that fills your heart. With profound gratitude...

The Serenity Prayer

God,
Grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
the Courage to change the things I can
and the Wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardship as the pathway to peace.

Taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it.

Trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to His Will;

That I may be reasonably happy in this life,
and supremely happy with Him forever in the next.

Amen.

The Prayer of St. Francis

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is error, truth. Where there is discord, harmony. Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light... and where there is sorrow, JOY!
