Update on The Spring 2010 Issue of The Girlhood Home Companion

This delay is due to our family taking care of my 89 year old father full-time since January. Grandpa has Parkinson’s and limited mobility, so we are moving at a much slower pace taking care of him. It has taken many months since first taking him out of the nursing home (October 2009) to adjust to our new responsibilities, but we thank God for the opportunity to care for him and bless him with the security and love he needs in his old age.
Last August, my father became ill and ended up in the hospital, over drugged and dehydrated. We really believe he wouldn’t be here today if my younger brother and I had not stepped in to bring him home for good.
We are very sorry for this delay in production, but as the saying goes, “Life is what happens when you are making other plans!” The Lord has been faithful and we are learning to take life one day at a time.
In the meantime until the new issue is done…
If you are a new customer and are ordering a subscription to The Girlhood Home Companion for the first time, you might want to receive the two current print back issues we have in stock right now to start your subscription (Between Friends-summer 2009 and Comfort and Joy-Christmas 2009 ). Or you can start your subscription with the Spring 2010 issue. Personally, I suggest getting the current print back issues while they’re in stock.
Contact Eric at publisher@remembrancepress.com if you decide you want the back issues to begin your subscription, otherwise we will begin your subscription with the Spring issue when it is becomes available .
Also Available:
Don’t forget we have all of our current back issues (seven since 2007) available in digital format. Plus you won’t want to miss our wonderful Tea Cozy and Horse Clubs and companion workshops for mothers and daughters on CD. We also have printed copies of The Girlhood Back Issue Album originally published from 1998-2001(13 delightful issues in one), so visit our store and see all the products to choose from to keep you busy until the Spring issue of The Girlhood Home Companion is available. http://www.remembrancepressbookstore.com/servlet/StoreFront

Not to worry about the delay – it’s much more important to take care of family. God bless you all.
God bless you in honoring your father (4th Commandment)and being his advocate! God will never be outdone in the love and generosity you are showing your dad. My brothers, sisters and I had 10 years of declining health and all the decisions and concerns involved with both of our parents in those last years. My mother outlived my dad, but in her final years she would repeat, “My family is my greatest treasure.”
We pray for your family and look forward to the time when it is God’s will to continue the publication of your beautiful magazine.
Peace in the risen Lord!

Hello,
I am a new customer, awaiting my first issue for my daughter. I was wondering why I had not received it yet and went searching and came across this post on this site. I am so sorry about the declining health of your father. I just lost my dad to cancer and it had been a long 3 months visiting him and doing what we could to make his life more enjoyable at a Hospice home. We were not able to keep him home full time because he had other medical issues that we could not take care of ourselves. The nurses and volunteers at the Hospice home were wonderful. My mom said that they had to be God’s angels. My dad felt very comfortable there and was glad to be taken care of and loved by so many people, many of which he only met 3 months ago. I am so glad that you are able to take care of him as he needs. All things work together for good for those who trust in the Lord.
I will patiently wait for the spring issue to be released. You will be in our families prayers.
God’s Blessings to you all,
Caroline Dibble
