Dad seems to be doing okay today - Uncle Tom and Aunt Diana came up today and had a nice visit. He had hospice come in to change his medicine bag for him and he was able to take a long nap. He was saying tonight how the medicine is effecting his talking a little bit, not being able to get the thought out in one sentence. And I said "Well, that's okay dad, we are used to Sean talking" (LOL Sean, I am just kidding!!). Dad laughed...
It is good to see him laugh. As hard as this on all of us, I know and can only imagine how hard it is on him. Tonight Cary graduated from 8th grade - woo hoo and Casey graduates this weekend from high school. He is the valedectorian - what a major accomplishment that is. We are ALL so proud of him.
It's been a crazy couple of days and dad was saying tonight how much he enjoys the visits with everyone- he really does.
I found this quote when I was searching the Internet and I hold it to be true. EVERYONE needs a family - everyone needs to feel the blessings that we have being feeling for the past couple of months, especially these last couple of days...
Call it a clan, call it a network, call it a tribe, call it a family:Whatever you call it, whoever you are, you need one. (Jane Howard)
Much love to all,

I think Bill exemplifies this practice most to me.
