This is not a cloud. It is what I see in the winter months as the sun starts to creep through my bedroom window over my bed. It is lacey and when the wind blows even a little, it dances on the wall. One of the small joys I get every winter when the sun sits low on the horizon.
Well, we said goodbye to dad yesterday. I really had to push myself hard to go to the funeral home. He did not look anything like the dad I knew. I found this to be really disturbing. I said “Maybe they put his new teeth in” (which he refused to wear after ten dentist appointments) to which we all got a little chuckle out of. Inappropriate comment? Well, that’s just me trying for levity. We all knew how many appointments we had to go to for these teeth.
I thanked the powers that be for the sun that came out for us. Blessings to the Marine Corp honor guard that came out on such a cold morning to send him off. And man, when they play those taps, how can anyone hold back tears? Even at the ripe old age of 93. This was a gentle man with a solid heart.
Tomorrow is another scan for me so there’s that. I’m still feeling relatively good although I feel low energy. It’s a real mental challenge and perhaps that’s what up.
Mike made a great breakfast of pancakes and bacon and that was pretty sweet. Now I know why I would go to McDonald’s for that when he was visiting Anthony. He cooks, I clean. I’d rather go and get carry out. Lol
He wants to bake oatmeal chocolate chip cookies today. What a great guy! I’m ok with just no dishes though. Again with the carry out.
Blue skies today. I think I’ll post another Wilco song. Sky Blue Sky
Go Steelers. Give me something!
