To My Coal Mining Husband
Often when under the mountains you goTo make us a living by mining coalTo God above a prayer I prayThat He keep you safe throughout the day.That He'll bring you home to your family you loveThat we may strive together for that home aboveWith strength and health for your body He'll supplyAnd when you need Him most, He'll hear your cry.When morning comes and off to work you goMy loneliness for you I try not to showPatiently through the day I waitAnd trust you with God by His marvelous faith.Many dangers could come throughout the dayThat from your family you'd be taken awayBut on bended knees I often sayGod keep him safe through another day.And when to that beautiful home we goWith friends and relatives whom we love soYou'll never know the joy there is in my heartAt the thought of being together and never apart.With an honest heart I thank God aboveFor you, a husband he gave me to loveYet many things in life we don't understandBut by the love He has given us we walk hand in hand

Grandpa
by Lorie Thomas
A soldier gets a medal. A pilot gets his wings. What do I give Grandpa? He stands for many things.
Lots of gifts come to mind to show the world the man...to tell the story of him and Vivian and the family that they would plan.
It happened many years ago, when they started out the Tree. God decided He would bless them and Vonda made three.
Boys and girls continued to fill the house with fun and love. Soon there were tweleve branches looked down on from above.
I am but a little leaf on this my family tree, but what do I give the man who means so much to me?
An earthly king wears his crown to show his trials and fames, but I will give my grandpa a coat filled with our names.
Grandkids and "great ones" are the leaves that fill his Tree and he can carry us on his back wherever he may be.
So my dearest Grandpa this coat is filled with love. A reminder of the Tree you planted that was strenghtened from above.

1940
by Ralph Treadway
As I was looking through my Dads Bible I found this poem:
In the year of our Lord, 1940, Mom and I started this uneven journey of life together 25,185 days ago. We started this life it has been a wonderful life. Together we have grown old, together the Lord has blessed us with a wonderful family. He has been there when we have needed Him, the Lord.
My dad must've written this on their 69th anniversary, as 25,185 days equal 69 years!

Going Home
After 69 years they begin to look frail.
Their eyes not as bright, their step not as sure
But their love still strong as all can tell.
More forgetful moments, more bad days than good,
but still by each others side, like they said they would.
He knows he hasn't much time, but worries only about her.
How will she get along without him, who will remind her of
times that were.
She sees his weakness and worries and frets,
she thinks of younger years, like when they first met.
They started their life together in 1940, through good times and bad, they have traveled the bumpy road known as life.
But even the happiest times will eventually end in strife.
As he takes his last breath, she lays by his side.
A tear runs down his cheek as he has glimpsed Heavens streets of gold ever so wide.
She knows her loss is Heavens gain, his loved ones that have gone on before are welcoming him home, but she must remain.
Strolling together in Heaven hand in hand, side by side, is her dream as she lays down to sleep, thinking that is where she wants to abide.

In Loving Memory of Daddy
Lonnie Ralph Treadway
(April 25, 1922 –March 16, 2010)
Lonnie Ralph Treadway, age 87, of Dawson, West Virginia, died March 16, 2010, at home. Ralph was born in Artie, West Virginia, the third child of the late Homer Lee Treadway and Nancy Alice Buzzard Treadway. He married Vivian Hatfield in 1940.
Ralph was preceded in death by an infant daughter, Marion Kathlean, in 1943 and an infant son, Ralph Eugene, in 1945; sister Myrtle Pozzie; brothers David, Leroy, Lindon, and Glendon Mick; infant brother Emmett; infant sisters Henrietta, Loretta, Vonnie and Thelma; and cousin Sheldon Buzzard.
Ralph is survived by wife Vivian of 70 years and 10 children: Vonda Thomas (David) of Brownstown, Michigan; Ruth Cadle (Dan) of Newton Falls, Ohio; David Treadway (Julie) of Newberry, Florida; Daniel Treadway (Alice) of Providence, Kentucky; Lonnie Treadway (Marcia) of Rainelle; Barbara Slaughter (Elliott) of Dublin, Virginia; Timmy Treadway(Cindy) of Christiansburg, Virginia; Rita McClanahan (Blain) of Meadow Bridge; Patricia Hutsenpiller (Danny) of Dawson; and Steve Treadway (Teresa) of Christiansburg, Virginia; sisters Joyce Heater of Salisbury, North Carolina; and Carol Gillespie of Waynesville, Ohio; 25 grandchildren; 28 great grandchildren; 1 great great grandchild; and many nieces and nephews.
Ralph and Vivian made their first home in Ameagle, Raleigh County, then moved to Greenbrier County in 1947. There they carved a mountain farm out of the wilderness, and Ralph built, with his own hands, the house in which most of his 12 children were born. News commentator Tom Brokaw called his “the Greatest Generation,” and that it may have been. After passing his physical for the military during World War II, officials told him he would be more valuable to the country while supplying energy from the coal mines where he then worked. He later retired from that occupation after laboring there for more than 30 years.
No tribute is long enough to do justice to the skills and contributions Ralph made to the community and to his family. He never discarded anything that he thought might someday be useful for tasks yet unimagined. He could repair anything. For verification, one need only look around the farm at his handiwork or just ask his neighbors. He was always willing to share: his time, when it was to repair or build something for someone who could not do it themselves; his crops, when the Lord blessed him with more than he and his family could use; his tools, when they would help a neighbor do a job easier or better; his music, in church or home; his flowers, of which he was so proud; his apples, during a good year; his sons and daughters, when they could help a friend in his absence; even his opinion, when he thought the other person was willing to accept it – and a few times even if they weren’t. It would be no exaggeration to say all who knew him were better off for having done so. He was a giant among men and will be sorely missed.
Many words could be used to describe Ralph Treadway. He was honest, trustworthy, dedicated, hard working, kind and gentle. Lacking a formal education, he taught himself many skills that served him well. At various times he was a hunter, farmer, coal miner, mechanic, musician, inventor, teacher, barber, repairman, carpenter, mason, and gardener – sometimes a perfectionist. He was always a husband, father, brother, friend and a Christian who loved to read God’s Word.
His contributions to the work of God were many. He taught Sunday School to different age groups, played music with several instruments, and made repairs to a number of church buildings, the latest of which was the original church at Grassy Meadows. But perhaps his greatest contribution to the work of God was his extensive musical talents which he used in church or at home to play only gospel music. The memories he created for friends and family will last a lifetime.
A Celebration of Ralph’s life, for family and friends, will be held at the Grassy Meadows Gospel Lighthouse on Friday March 19, from 6-8pm.
Funeral Services will be Saturday, March 20th at 2pm with Pastor Butch LeGrand officiating with burial following at the Puckett Cemetery, Crag, WV.

I guess by now you all know the angels were rejoicing in Heaven last night around 1030p. Daddy finally left his body to have a new one in Heaven. Mommy was really sad but she said it was Heavens gain. He went quietly and peacefully. I sat and held his hand until he took his last breath and he looked the best I have seen him in several weeks.

Ya'll should have been here this evening. Mommy had a heavy heart today and was just so sad. We got visitors this evening: Carol, Tammy, Trish's pastor, and Rick and Linda Hamrick (from Mommy's church). Timmy, Steve, Linda, Rick, Cindy and myself were in the new LR singing and Steve said we needed to move to where Daddy was so he could hear the singing. We sang a few songs and when we sang "I Want To Stoll Over Heaven With You", Mommy got happy and her heart got lighter. She told Daddy that she wanted to Stroll Over Heaven With Him. We sang for quite awhile. Trish and Danny came and Addy and we had church. When we were about finished, Mommy said she wanted us to do the same thing when she went. Get around and sing and be happy....so we told her we would throw a party. Wish you coulda' been here.
Good morning,
Daddy had an uneventful night. Seemed to sleep and rest well. Mommy did too. Timmy is up frying him some eggs, I am having my diet coke and some Ruffles. Georgia, Carol, and Mary were here yesterday and everyone talked Georgia into making that peanut butter icing she used to make on chocolate cake. It was yummy. Rita did Carols hair for her for Jeffs funeral today. Everyone remember Alma and her kids and the rest of their family today. I know Jeffs wife and kids must be in an awful place today.
Will blog more later today!

Good morning to all,
Things on the home front are about the same. Daddy is unable to even swallow the morphine now though. We put an extra pain patch and that has helped. He is still running a fever of 102 but cools down with Tylenol. His breathing is unlabored and he seems to rest really peaceful after we turn him. He is still on his oxygen. The nurse was here and his Blood pressure was 80/60. Heart rate really irregular, but that is mainly because he is unable to take his heart medication.
Mommys blood pressure is running a little high. Seems to have a cold with a little temp. Hovering at 99-100 but feels better with tylenol. She slept good last night and will lay down several times during the day with Daddy. Steve, Timmy, Rita and I are here this morning and nothing really has changed. Mommy has lost another pound, she is 115.

Morning all,
Just a quick note. Daddy is doing really poor this morning. He isn't responding except to pain. HIs breathing is worse and the congestion. Me and Bobbie gave him a sponge bath to help bring down the temperature and Danny is going to CVS to get some Tylenol suppositories. I told Mommy that it wouldn't be long now for Daddy and of course she is heart broken. Say a special prayer for her today. And if you want to visit, Mommy would probably like the company. I am going to sleep today so I can do the night shift.
Love to all,

hahahaha! MP3! love it! We love the pictures of Marleigh, can't wait to squeeze those cheeks! We're going to visit the Grands today and take some popcorn, Grandma's long overdue!
Emily, Paul just can't enough of Gracie! He can't wait for the next litter!
Happy Birthday Michelle and Granny Bobbie! We wish you both a blessed day!

Good morning,
We had our first good nights sleep last night. Marleigh slept for 5 hours straight and I woke her up to feed but she didn't want to. She got up at 6 and was more than willing at that time :) I put her back down at 7 and she is still snoozing right along. Glad to hear that Grandma feels better. I hope Grandpa's fever will break soon and he gets over the pneumonia quickly. Sounds like Emily and Zac are becoming quite the cooks. Emily, we like chicken dumplings here in VA too lol!! We were watching the news this morning and apparently there is some flooding going on in Pulaski and Giles that is pretty bad. Hopefully the waters will start to recede soon. Everyone be careful in their travels and we'll talk to you later :)
MP3 (lol)
Daddy has a fever of 102 this morning. Coughing up some really dark yellow phlegm. I am sure he has pneumonia, but he is only barely able to swallow his morphine at this point. I called WalMart to see if they had Tylenol Rectal Supp. to reduce the fever and just make him comfortable, but they don't even carry them. CVS opens at 10 so I am going to call or Danny will just go over and see if they have them. He barely responded when we turned him at 6. He did grimace when I moved his arm but other than that...I gave him a breathing treatment and along with his oxygen he seems to be breathing better for now. Mommy has slept good all night, up just a couple times to the bathroom.

Its 1am or 2am, depending on whether or not you have set your clock up. Daddy had a fairly good day. Rested good, taking only his pain medicine. had a few licks of a pop sickle and then made a terrible face and took his hand to push it away. That is actually the most movement I have seen in a while. He will suck on the toothette when you clean his mouth with cold water. He is starting to run a low grade fever, 99. But no obvious congestion, it is clearing with the breathing treatments and he rests and breaths so much easier after them. For those of you giving him the morphine, it is a very very tiny concentrated dose. And if you notice about 10 minutes after he gets it, he does stop breathing for about 10 seconds at a time. And he continues this cycle of breathing for about an hour and then reverts back to normal. That is just one of the side effects of MS. Mommy laid down in the bed with him today and slept quite a while. Its a good thing too cause they had company around 730. Rick and Linda Hamrick from their church came to visit and stayed til about 845. I was afraid I was going to have to let Mommy lay down, so its a good thing she had a nap. Rick sat at Daddys side and talked to him and he did acknowledge him. I am pretty sure he knew him. Mommy on the other hand, I had to remind her several times during the visit who they were.
Zac made pizzas and Emily made chicken dumplings for supper and mommy ate good. Then they made home made choc. chip cookies. Lonnie came right at the time we were getting ready to eat. He had been to the cemetery and dug the grave for Jeff Osborne. Quite the mud hole!
Mommy seemed to be getting a cold early on today. I found some cold medicine in the cabinet and gave her some Tylenol and when I turned daddy at 12MN she got up and went to the bathroom and said she felt better. Danny is staying with me tonight and we watched the WVU basketball games! Big East Champions, Alice did you and Daniel watch that? I know you like Basketball.
I think Bobbie, Elliott, Adam and Corey are coming up tomorrow to spend the day, then I'll be back on the night shift.
Daddy does seem to be waking up and in pain about an hour before its due so I am going to call the doc tomorrow and see if we can give it every 3 hours. It doesn't make him loopy, just sleepy. But when he does wake up he is quite lucid.
Don't forget to set your clock.
I think I am going to go make me some popcorn, get a diet coke and watch some TV for a while. I think the night life suits me!
Will blog more tomorrow! Don't forget Bobbie AND Michelle's birthday is the 14th. Not sure if Michelle reads the blog. Probably not, I don't think they get good Internet service in Germany!
Zac made pizzas and Emily made chicken dumplings for supper and mommy ate good. Then they made home made choc. chip cookies. Lonnie came right at the time we were getting ready to eat. He had been to the cemetery and dug the grave for Jeff Osborne. Quite the mud hole!
Mommy seemed to be getting a cold early on today. I found some cold medicine in the cabinet and gave her some Tylenol and when I turned daddy at 12MN she got up and went to the bathroom and said she felt better. Danny is staying with me tonight and we watched the WVU basketball games! Big East Champions, Alice did you and Daniel watch that? I know you like Basketball.
I think Bobbie, Elliott, Adam and Corey are coming up tomorrow to spend the day, then I'll be back on the night shift.
