Heading to FL next week. My dad's church set up a fund to get me a plane ticket, I don't know if I had mentioned that. That is very helpful as I don't otherwise have that kind of $$ right now!! (which just further drives me to start putting a little aside to create an emergency fund).

Anyway, my dad is home, doing ok. His heart issues can only be controlled by medication at this point, as he does not want the surgery (and who can blame him, at his age). I will get to spend a week there visiting, and, Lord willing, will return again as scheduled at the end of Feb. for a long weekend. Day at a time, y'know?

What an awesome church community you belong to.

Enjoy the visit with your dad.

LegoMom, that is so nice that they set up a fund! I'm glad you'll be able to see your dad. One day at a time is a good mantra to have.

Thank you all so much for your kindness. I am having a difficult time dealing with this, but everyone says it will get easier.

I just can't imagine having New Years in summer.... 100 degrees in January...

All my teams are done.. who's still in it for the SuperBowl???

I have no idea who all the teams are, but the PATS are still in the running!!!

True that!

Ooo, I didn't know that!

I have a soft spot for them. They won the year Nemo was born. Literally, the day before he was born.

There are 8 teams left. Most definitely not my Bucs. I think a high school team would have better luck than them this year.

 

[LegoMom3]

I'm really not all that woo-hoo about it, but it's kinda fun.

to Daisyyyy and a yay to LM for getting to see your dad.

A coworker got called by hospice today becuse her mom, who has dementia, is close to the end of her journey. It's one of those 'thank goodness the end is near' and a 'I feel so bad' kinda things.

Thanks PaMom. And on top of my dad's failing physical health, I've got my mom in a nursing home with the whole dementia thing going on too. That one's almost harder to watch progress; watching someone's mind slip away is like losing that person altogether, yet they are still here.

Big skittles hugs for you.

...one of my friend's dad is in the same boat....sometimes he has bouts of rage - she says it's almost too painful to watch....

Thank goodness It didn't get to that level with my mom. She had been sick, but 100% there with her mind. I'm sad that she's gone, but I'm glad she didn't suffer for a prolonged period of time. the last day we were kinda praying she would slip away, because if she came back, she wouldn't ever be the person she was, and she wouldn't want that either.

Yeah... at this point I don't care who makes it in the superbowl, but whoever makes it in, we'll still watch it.... it's always a good reason to have a pizza party. (because you know... you can only get good pizza in NJ... and PA)....
