My thoughts and prayers will be with you and your family.

Originally Posted By amazedncal2 Thank you all for your kind words. I am doing fine. There is lots to do and keep busy with. All my kids were here over the weekend, the girls took grandma shopping and spent a fun day with her, my oldest son slept at her house just to be there, my youngest son and his sig. other were here for ME put away all my halloween stuff, did the dishes and took care of dinners. Grandson was here to add general cuteness and fun My mom even wanted to go OUT to dinner with all of us and my sister and her husband, not get take out like we planned. She found that she likes wine margaritas We toasted my Dad and my mom said that he would be so happy that she was out of the house and being cared for. My Dad was 85 and my mom is 81 so they have lots of adult grandchildren who are stepping in and adding to the mix. We have told them to think about what they can do and then do it and not ask what is needed. My sister and brother also have great kids. It's a new experience for these "kids" to step up and come up with ideas. We are having a celebration of his life next weekend at my parents house. What started as a family and close friends gathering is becoming 75 people. My mother keeps adding to the list. Please keep your fingers crossed that it doesn't rain next Saturday As you can see, we are hanging in there. Next week will be hard when all is said and done. My mom is a strong little woman. She has pretty much just taken care of my Dad for the past couple of years with different heatlth issues but we think she'll be ready to re connect with some friends and keep herself busy with us there for support. I personally have probably now consumed one of every pastery, bagel, pizza, huge cookie, muffin etc. in the county. Yesterday I ate a pastery, tostidos, popcorn, pizza and a SALAD. Time to go to the grocery store Thank you again, I was shocked to sign on and see 30 posts. Thank you for letting me ramble on.
