The day dawned dark, cloudy, and rainy…perfect for a Monday. A funk has set in…almost imperceptibly…it took over my thoughts. As I sat, typing away, I realized what was happening. Now forcing myself to smile…I am hoping that I will begin to feel a smile inside too.
The weekend was good, although it began with a trip that I had intended NOT to be an all day affair. We left Saturday around noon, to go to Ark City for ‘a few hours’…we got back home sometime around 9:00 p.m….sorry guys! Even though it took longer than we planned, it was a good trip, and we did have fun!! We laughed and talked all the way there, and all the way back, and had a good visit with everyone who we stopped to see! I always have fun when we go anywhere together!!
Church was good on Sunday, then we went to Outback Steak House for Father’s Day lunch…which was excellent! After lunch, back to our house to swim and soak up some sun for a few hours! That was really great!!
Supper was Pizza Hut delivery (not Digiorno). The kids headed home around 6:30 or so, and we spent the rest of the evening watching TV.
After talking to my dad on Saturday evening, we are concerned that my step-mother’s cancer is probably active again. She is showing a marked decline in motor skills and memory…within the past week. We knew that it would happen eventually…but it is very hard to think about. She has done so well…for so long…that we have become complacent. My heart breaks for her and for my dad…and there is not one single thing that we can do to ‘help’. This can’t be ‘helped’ or ‘fixed’, but it must be endured. She is one of the strongest people that I have ever known. In spite of everything…she always smiles, and her reply to “How are you feeling?” is always “I’m doing great!” Please pray for her and for my dad…she is the love of his life.
Be Well!
