   I told you it was a good thing Baldo was late! Poor Papi might have had it much worse!

   How wonderful that Baldo and Gracie will be making sure that Papi follows the doctor’s orders. That’s because they love you so much, Papi!

   That will be great for Sergio to take the medication for diabetic and do the excerise actively. If Sergio cannot play basketball, baseball or something he really can’t play, He can take a walk that will help him improving better. Hope all goes well!

   WOW! You guys have already gotten diabetic, If so, you better take care of your healths for health’s sake.

   The sports shown have all become to hard on this old body. My problem is that once I get involved my mind forgets that my body is no longer 20 years old. After trying a thing or two that I shouldn’t, then I’m laid up again. Now I play disc golf. I get to walk a couple of miles while playing a round and don’t end up in traction!

   Special thanks to everyone who prayed for my grandmother earlier this week. She slipped quietly into eternity yesterday morning.

   She always thought no one would care about her. Guess she’ll never know she had people she’s never even heard of praying for her.

   Thanks guys! God bless!

    the whole family can work together to help papi
    although tia carmen may not like changing her menu for meals it will be good for all of them

    Oh, Librarian, I’m so sorry to hear about your grandmother. You are so blessed that you had time with her and I’m sure she felt blessed to have time with you.

    LibrarianInTraining said, 4 months ago

    Yeah, the whole thing was kind of a big deal because she raised me since my parents divorced when I was 4. So it was like losing my mom.

    I was holding her hand when she went. She was sleeping so it was very peaceful.

    Thanks for your support guys! It’s tough cuz almost all the family is out of state. The house seems so lonely now. I got up this morning and had to resist the urge to go into her room and say Good Morning.

    I’m just waiting for that one stupid moment when I come through the door after work and ask what she wants for dinner.

    LibrarianInTraining - I’m so sorry for your loss. it is good that you were with her and know she went peacefully. I went through that with my father a month ago.

    And Believe that she knows about us praying for her.

    MJ Veira said, 4 months ago

    I’m also sorry for your loss, Librarian. Just as hookedoncomics says, take it one day at a time. And what you call stupid moments will happen, but that just proves that you loved (and still love) her very much! And I know for a fact that you will never forget her. Again my condolences to you.

    LibrarianInTraining, I add my deepest sympathies for your loss.
    And yes, those “stupid”moments, as you put it will happen. Just be sure to laugh when they do, and you will hear your Grandmother laughing with you.

    To bald, Tia Carmen might change & tweak in her menus for Sergio’s sake including swiching White Rice for Brown Rice, eating Whole Grain Breads instead of White Bread, ease off on the sweets, eat more Lentils & Beans,subsituting Vegetable Oil for Bacon fat or Lard for making Refried Beans, cutting off or minimizing Fried Foods, Adding Cinnamon,Aloe Verde & Nopales into the diet (they are Excellent superfood to combat Diabetes) & many other thing too! Also you never Know if Tia Carmen might have some sure fire remedies to combat Diabetes up her sleeve!

    & to LibirianinInTraining: sorry to hear about your loss of your blessed Grandmother. I’ll say a prayer for her & hope she meet some of my departed loved ones up thier including my dad who I still miss to this very day!!

    Papi needs to get a Wii. That EA Active will REALLY give you a workout. Especially the inline skating and lunge jumps. My thighs never felt so hot!

    prasrinivara said, 4 months ago

    More specifically bigg3469–when you said “vegetable oil”, it should be a “good” oil such as extra-virgin olive, till (sesame), canola or safflower/sunflower.

    On the refried beans, how about boiled-and-mashed beans instead?

    For carmy, I’m sure if Sergio has any intentions of not following suggestions from Gracie or Baldo, Carmen will ensure that he does (along with a few more).
