I brought the bear, sparkling grape juice, cheese, lemon bars, the duckies, and Sharon brought bananas, crackers, paper towel...all the necessities. We walked around the park. The flowers were beautiful, and the weather was still cool. It was a great way to celebrate.
Today I am in Daytona. It's Saturday, and Mr. John's funeral is Monday. Georgena and I came on so she/we could spend time with Georgia and Kohle, and get them out of the house. This afternoon, we took them to the beach to walk around and got ice cream on the way home.
Gloria is doing ok. She tears up when she talks about 'things', but all in all, she's holding it together. Her former sister-in- law and husband are also here for a few days. Tim went with us to get burgers this afternoon, and he talked a lot about his dad's final days. It's been a hard time for them, but it worked out best that Tim came to help out.
At lunch, I noticed how much Tim's arms look like John's. Same freckles, hair, shape. I had a moment of fighting tears, and went out on the deck to process it all. The quiet didn't last long with two pre-teens around.
My Mother's Day Tea at school went very well. It was also teacher appreciation week, so several moms brought me bouquets of flowers. woohoo
