Lucky or very blessed

That’s me! I know there are other lucky or blessed people in the family but for now I will do.
Why am I lucky/blessed, well I am married to the love of my life we have been married for 46 happy years.
We have 3 fantastic children and 8 wonderful, grand children, a lovely son in law and daughter in law, and a lovely future daughter in law, so yes I am blessed and very lucky.

As far as I am concerned I live in the best country in the world, sometimes known as “the lucky country”.

I am very lucky that I was even born alive, my brother did not live past an hour, mum had contracted what was then called German measles, now called Rubella, it wasn’t anyone’s fault, there was no immunisation back then, so I hold no one at fault for the fact that I was born nearly deaf because I was born into a very loving caring family, on many occasions when I could have died I didn’t, I lived though everything until now, and of course I have no idea what tomorrow holds but what ever it is it will be OK because I am blessed.

I am not lucky in that I win prizes but I am lucky in many other ways.

In January 2017, just a few kms from home after travelling across the country, our car hit a tree we don’t know why nor how it happened but it did and my side at the front was the worst, but the engine fell down on the ground and didn’t come into the cabin as if it had it would have crushed me, but it didn’t! The air bag must have exploded hitting me, as I had very serious concussion, the seat belt broke my ribs in multiple places the vertebrae in my back and neck were also broken,

and I spent a long time in hospital, then coming home in a chin to hip brace. But I am blessed because that brace is gone and I am able to do some of the things I now want to, and those I can’t do? Well that’s ok as well, I can’t look after the garden any more so we have a gardener who comes to do it for me. We work it out.
Yes I am lucky and blessed. Because God’s not finished with me yet. And for now I will be one of the 52 Ancestors.
