Bumble Summer

 
                                                                                                                     This my first post in a very long time. My father has been ill since February and I've been helping my mother and him out. He is 86 years old and was still farming in January when he had a heart problem. Almost immediately after getting home, after spending a few days in the hospital, he couldn't walk. So back to the hospital he went for more tests and then to a nursing facility for therapy for two months.  

To make a long story short, he can't still can't walk and probably won't be able to.  Needless to say, he is now depressed. But he is home!  I guess it's just going to take time to adjust.  My mother is holding up remarkably well and stayed home by herself for the first time in her 84 years while my dad was having therapy.

I'm so glad to be back to my card making!!  I have a card to celebrate:
