Last To Post Game- Take 7 (ACTION!!)

[tubachick]

Andrew wants to go out to practice his driving! Should be a fun afternoon for me!

besides coming home to the bad news, how did the driving go?

 

[tubachick]

Sorry about the eardrums. I guess it's not a hearing problem then. It must be a problem understanding! Because you are not last - Pam is!

Thanks Again Kathy!

Good evening!

It was a very rough morning.

So sorry!

And I though he sits here with me, worrying about my dog. Amazing.

Something like that tends to restore your faith in human nature!!

He better be careful. DH's brother was having problems and he still wanted to help and the lifting really hurt him. And there were 9 of them and it was still too much for him.

It was almost too much on DH, physically, today. When he walked past me while they were carrying the casket I noticed he was carrying with his left hand and he had his right fist clenched so hard and you could see the grimace of pain on his face! But he made it through....and now he's in bed!

Thank you.

That is how DH's Dad looked at his Mom when she passed. You could just feel the amazing love they had for each other.

It is amazing. I mean, I feel that way for DH and we've been together 25 years and I feel like our love grows stronger all the time. But sometimes you just forget that other couples feel that way too. This whole thing has really reminded me of how fragile life is and how we never know from one day to the next - or even from one minute to the next - what will happen. Our family is always the type to make sure we tell each other we love each other - if anything were to happen I don't want to look back with regrets and wish that I had said something when I had the chance!

Hang in there Kathy.

I will! Thanks!














By the way everyone - I feel very lucky to have all of you as my friends!

...we've had snow flurries on and off all day.....I sure hope that the weather's okay for my DS's flight back home tonight from WDW...

Did your DS get home yet??

 

[eeyoresmountainpals]

Glad DD made it up.

I am too. And she's put in for two days off to come up after my surgery to help out!

Sounds like the whole area will be missing Mary Helen with that long line.

She was a very special lady. I never heard anyone say anything negative about her. She was just a very, very wonderful person!

hopefully none of those roads were roads the funeral party would travel on.

All we got on our end of the county was rain - but it was enough rain to make the drive up to the cemetery very muddy!

DH took his patrol car (unmarked). Usually they have a sheriff's deputy escort from the church to the grave site but since the cemetery was only about a mile from the church the people at the funeral home didn't request an escort. When DH found out that there was no official escort he volunteered to do it. His car is unmarked but does have the full lightbars in the front and back windows. So he escorted the procession to the gravesite. But, halfway up the hill there was a sharp, steep turn and it was all muddy. He knew the patrol car wouldn't make it up all the way so he pulled off to the side to let the funeral home van and the hearse go by. We were about 6 cars back and were able to watch. The van went up the hill, the hearse went up the hill...the hearse slid and had to back down to try again. It took five tries for it to finally get up the hill! The next vehicle in the procession was a 4 wheel drive truck with Bill and Melanie and Melanie's husband and son. DH was going to walk up the hill but they stopped and picked him up and he sat half on Bill's lap in the front seat on the ride up!

We all followed, about 20 cars in all - following like a herd of cattle. And when we all got up there we found out that there was no place to turn around! So, when it was over we all had to back down!

My thoughts will be with you, your family, Bill, and Mary Helen.

Thank you!

I don't think I am catching up this thread

They don't call me the "mouth of the south" for nothing!

 

[kaylajr]

Okay guys just reading a bit on this page shows me that I missed alot in some of your lives

I can't read back right now but I want you all to know I keep you all in my prayers daily and to those who need it....

 

[eeyoresmountainpals]

That's what I'm having right now!

 

[eeyoresmountainpals]

yeah, that's not something that I would normally make. Did the boys enjoy the food?

Yeah, they enjoyed it - but I honestly thing they could have had hot dogs off the grill and enjoyed it just as much!

besides coming home to the bad news, how did the driving go?

He did okay. He just needs a LOT more practice and he needs to have more self confidence! He is a good driver, though.
