Christmas Countdown - 2013

[made582]

Thank you everyone for all of your thoughts, well wishes and prayers....It truly means the world to me. I have had sort of a rough patch this year as a hole, to which I have only mentioned to a few of you here...

So, this sudden news, only added to the weights that are already on my back. However, I am an optimist and I do believe in a higher power....

My youngest brother is handling most of the work, while I am providing comfort for my grandfather. It appears that my father donated his body to science, so there will be no funeral, no viewing and no expenses. I look at it like this, if that's what he wanted, so be it. Ironically, my brother just called me 30 minutes ago and told me that Johns Hopkins just called him and asked him if they could have his brain. That's a really weird phone call to get.....

I take it all in stride, Well, I guess it's all in the name of science.... So, they keep his body for awhile, cremate it, and return the ashes in 6-8 weeks. After that who knows. My brother is going to handle the estate and everything else and that's fine with me. Dealing with all this stuff, is one major pain in the can...

I'm tired, haven't had much sleep so I'm going to see Mr. Ambian tonight. I'll see you all tomorrow...nighty-nite~:wink:

I'm sorry you are having such a hard year. Keeping all of you in my prayers.

From the mom of a physician assistant, believe me when I tell you that my daughter said she was so thankful and reverent toward those who gave their bodies over for study and to learn from when she was in training to become a physician assistant.
Your dad gave a great gift...God bless you as you journey through all of what comes with great loss.

Good evening!
Where did the time go today? I had such a hectic day. We had two doctor appointments, one for me and one for my daughter. My errands included a trip to the post office, bank, supermarket, Target and two trips to Rite Aid. I spent the rest of the day taking care of the animals and getting all of my chores done. I'm tired and I'm going to turn in a little early tonight.
Thanks to all who sent get well wishes to my daughter. It looks like she just picked up a little cold.
I hope tomorrow will be less hectic!
I'm thinking of you all and praying that everyone is well.
See you in the morning.
Goodnight and sweet dreams!

Sounds like the busy day of a mother and caregiver!
Hope you have a good sound sleep!

I hear you on this HMG. I had a doctor's appointment in Chico today (45 min. one way). First we went to breakfast, then to the doctor, then to the pharmacy, then to Costco to get gas, pick up the rolls for the Boy Scouts dinner on Wednesday, and do some shopping. Then to Lowes, then to Home Depot. Then down to the Elks Lodge to drop off the rolls, then to Walmart!!! What a day! Take care of yourself!
