Charlie and Melissa rolled in this evening about 5:30. Hospice called in the family, again, about 3 or 4 days ago but I had talked Charlie into waiting until today because of the ice storm. He called his cousin, Bobby, when they got here and Pop was still alive so they ate supper with us and headed to town to see him. I know this is hard for Charlie, losing Pop. Granny is gone, his Dad has been dead a long time, and now Pop is going. All of his uncle's are dead and he has no siblings (he has 2 half brothers and two half sisters but they are not close) so I'm sure he feels as if he is losing all connection to his Dad. and he is.

I have no idea how long they will be here. I've determined in my mind to try to make the best of this and try to enjoy their visit. To be honest I don't do well with extended company... I just like my routine too much, I guess.

The snow is all gone and I am sooo happy for that. It left behind a muddy mess though.

Breathe deep. Shake the tension out thru your fingers. Pray for love. Repeat as often as necessary.
I get it. Love.

I just read this today. Please tell Charlie I said I am very sorry for his Loss... I know this is very very hard on him.

steph, I will be sure to tell him. Thanks. I haven't seen much of them since they got here. He is spending every day, all day long helping with Pop's care and tonight they are staying with his 1/2 brother, Wayne.
