Life's hard but bearable

A lot of you have been asking how we are and I really don't know a final answer to that yet. First of all Ray has not had a job since October. He can't drive truck because he is blind in one eye from Macular Degeneration.  He thought he had a job  but that only worked out for less than a month (not his fault, whole different story)(actually he had 2 job offers and evidently chose the wrong one). He's also had a few unexplained medical issues that have nothing to do with his eyes. We have spent thousands of dollars on tests and medication to try to figure out what is wrong. I am almost convinced it is caused by stress and depression from not having a job. But we have one more test Friday so we will see how those results come back.

No we haven't sold our house but yes we will be moving. We aren't making enough to continue paying our house payment and we have had offers of help but feel this is the best route to take. Ray feels horrible and hates talking about any of this and would most likely not be very happy about me posting this at all. We are hoping to stay until Kinlee graduates, but all of that will depend on the bank.

We have wonderful family and friends helping us cope with the changes in our world and we don't know what we would do without all of them.

We are in the process of checking on getting Ray disability but that most likely won't happen for a long time. In the meantime he is still applying for jobs and he has gone on some interviews. It seems like his bad days are Holidays and weekends. I am quite certain there are blessings in all of this and there is a very important lesson for us to learn.

Thanks again for everyone's concern, prayers, messages and more prayers we really do feel the love of everyone. Maybe one day soon I can be brave enough to tell all the details of some things but right now this is the extent of my sharing. 💜💜💜
Except to say I know life could be worse and I am so thankful for the blessings we have.
