whew we have a busy weekend ahead of us. Casey, Jenny's oldest graduates on Sunday - he is the oldest grandson/grandchild and he is the valedictorian of his class. He will be headed off to Notre Dame in the fall which is a huge accomplishment. But he has known since a child that he has always wanted to go there and he worked hard to get there - it is great to see his dreams become a reality.
So we have his mass tomorrow morning and his party tomorrow night. Then the actual graduation will be on Sunday. We are praying that dad will be able to at least make it on Sunday depending on how he is feeling, if not we plan on taping the whole thing so he doesn't miss anything.
Mom told us tonight that she is putting us on curfew at their house. Since last Thursday we have all been there every night, some nights have been later than others and some not so late. But I told her she can not keep us away because we never know what tomorrow may bring. No one does, so we cherish each moment we have with one another and with dad.
He had may visitors today and he enjoyed every bit of them. He said he felt good today, just has a headache that he can't seem to get rid of - it must run in the family because I have one too. He was watching the Reds tonight when I left - hopefully he gets to bed soon and rests up. I know he has been sleeping well at night, he just wished he could get rid of this headache.
Thanks for all of the comments from the previous post - as hard as it is, it is important to remember and cherish the times we do have and how blessed we are - then the anger seems to subside.
I hope everyone has a great weekend and takes time to enjoy the weather and each other.
Much love to all,
Michelle...
ReplyDeleteI have to say that family is the answer...i still cry each and every night...i am the only one that feels the pain and it seems to help with sleep. I don't know if I am the only one that does...but it does seem to help.. Everyone copes in their own way and it will get easier with time... We are praying for you all...
