Phallic flowers

What a weekend. Sunday night Chris and I drove back from New Iberia where we spent a few days visiting with his (our) family. He wasn't supposed to be home from recording until last night; unfortunately, his grandmother became ill Thursday so he changed plans at the last minute to come home Friday.
I'm not entirely disappointed he was here a few days sooner, but if it meant a healthy Mawmaw, I'd wish him back to Virginia.

What a gal Mawmaw is; there is no other like her. She spent the weekend in ICU with pneumonia, on top of other ailments that have plagued her for a few months now. Despite her health and how bad she must've felt, Mawmaw still managed to make us laugh with stories about how she met "Chiefy" (her husband) and drawings of phallic flowers. See below:




"It's a penis," she wrote. That sense of humor AINT goin NOWHERE.

Mawmaw spent the better part of the weekend attached to a mask that controlled her CO2 levels, so pencil and paper was the best form of communication during those times. Thank goodness for the comedic relief.

Although she's now out of ICU and home from the hospital, the future remains unclear. We continue to pray and hope for recovery and know one thing for sure:




We love you too.
