It has been n a whirlwind of a long weekend. We stood in line for a long time at the wake which was held on Dad's birthday - Happy Birthday Dad - Kevin, Judy and I toasted what would have been his 81st birthday. We had a few drinks and food at Kevin's with Hali and Andrew and got home around 12 am.
Today, May 23rd, we said goodbye to our uncle. It was a beautiful ceremony. The Barr kids are to be commended on the love and support that they gave their mom and each other through this trying time. I am looking forward to a good night's sleep tonight.
Sarah and Mark brought the kids to the reception at the Civitan. Well, King got upset and was angry at everyone. I wish I had a picture of him. He was so pouty and the more his cousins tried to make him smile the more his bottom lip stuck out, hands crossed in front of his chest and as stubborn as all get out. Gracie ate, as she states is her "most favourite thing to do", and Rosa ran up one aisle and down the other as heads would turn to look at her and smile. It was nice to see. Judy came home and is staying with me right now. She will be visiting hither and yon while she is here.
I hope Curt is doing well and stays in the hospital until he is feeling alot better.
Until next time....
And I'm sure the Barr cousins will realize that Aunt Peg will still need their company often for a bit. As you know, it is after all is done, and people drift away doing their own thing, getting on with their lives, that the one left behind feels so alone.
ReplyDeleteCurt did stay in the hospital - still on antibiotics - and will wait until the doctors see us tomorrow.
