a good day… very few rough moments, which was lovely… birthdays have always been special in our family so marking George’s is important…
started the day by taking the last of the antibiotics, yay… been using George’s pill container as I need to take the pills with my breakfast now…
last pill…
Crystal and I walked over to the Burger Place and picked up burgers and milkshakes for our supper…
moon through the trees…
made her hold everything while I took the picture on my phone… met up with all the boys at home and then FaceTimed with the kids in Ottawa… they had picked up burgers and milkshakes at McDonalds… we had apple pie in both places as well…
supper was busy and we shared various favourite memories of Dad/Grandpa… from reading every word of a very long story to the little boys, to always starting a new conversation when someone was trying to hang up or walk out the door, to working with the boys around the house and a love of the garden and ponds…
he would talk to any and every person he came in contact with… and he would know lots about them afterwards… just today I was mentioning how that is one of the most difficult things – not having anyone here to share with…
it was good to all be together, even if it was over the airwaves with the iPad… we continue to talk about him so that we won’t forget how special he was…
all of the kids, some being naughty…
today’s Advent gift was a bottle of Baileys so I had just a little bit after everyone left… it will be interesting to see what that does to my blood sugar, lol…
what a gift to have met and married my beloved, and spend over forty years together…
