Hi Hon
Yup I have signed up but all I get are a few Air Miles bonus deals. My sister gets lots of bonuses at Metro.
So sorry for your lose. That's a really cute pic. You look just like your Dad.....every time you look in the mirror smile and think of him.
I had to head out early this morning to clean off the car and shovel enough to move the car over the pile of snow that the plow had created when they did a pass thru the lot at 3 am (townhouse complex). Came back in, washed my hair, changed my clothes, packed a lunch, took my pills and headed back out to the car so I could head up the highway to meet my family at the funeral parlour. Crap! Stupid plow had come back and created another deeper pile behind my tiny car and that made me sweaty and 10 minutes late
my dad died early yesterday morning and while it truly was a blessing I really wish my family had communicated more with us. Please everyone, talk to your families, keep each other in the loop, don't assume that someone else had texted or called! We had no idea that he tested positive for COVID-19 over 2 weeks ago, that they'd already given the funeral director a heads-up before Christmas that he was failing quickly. Perhaps my kids might have liked to say goodbye to their Papa ☹ and maybe, just maybe I might have wanted to support my mom!
no shopping happening for me this week, don't care how many miles I might get or what's on sale! I grabbed a carton on milk at Rexall when I was picking up some scripts and that was hard enough
Those winter months can be really nice but can also be cold. I really like March, October and November. I've had perfect weather in March but also had freezing cold weather. LOL....we went from 28 all day to afternoon high of 11-12 all in one week. Funny how we Canadians acclimate very quickly.....the morning we stepped out of our room to a temp of 4 we thought we were going to die. The late fall months have more stable temps. Even in December you can be wearing shorts and t-shirts. I have friends that like to go the week before American Thanksgiving....they say the weather is great and it's on the quiet side.
We went the week after the American Thanksgiving. That was the best trip we have ever had there. We had +25 temps. low crowds everywhere. Universal was walk on for the days we were there. I know that time of year can be iffy for temperatures...but honestly, it was the best experience we have ever had.
) and seeing other progeny avoid them. My mother would watch me watching her and say, "What are you waiting for?" and I answer, "Just for you to tell me what you want so I can give it to you." My kids understood they were loosing their GMom but nobody, including I, knew how to say bye.
This sentence sums it up perfectly. Your mind understands it, but your heart doesn't want it to happen. Hoping that the waves of grief get easier to cross and that the memories you have of them will help you ride those waves of grief.
