Bittersweet......

I've been MIA the past couple of weeks......very busy. About 3 weeks ago my Dad decided to move into an independent senior home. He's been living in that house for 42 years....but in the last few days since he's moved he seems very happy. I know he hated living in that big house by himself....since my Mom died ten years ago he had the place to himself. We spent the last two weeks packing and getting ready to move and now I get to figure out how to get all the furniture and other things out of it and then sell it. I was happy he had no problem just walking away.....thought I was going to be ok too.....till yesterday. I realized I have spent every Christmas there for those 42 years as well as birthdays, thanksgivings and every other holiday and fun time imaginable. It was strange to think that all we will have now are the memories. I know change is good....this one for my Dad especially...we will all move on to a new phase in life.....
I wanted to post a pic I found just last week when I was cleaning out some drawers.....
This is a pic of my grandma, me , my son and my dad about 25 years ago. Those blinds and wallpaper are still there!!!
Here's to moving forward.......

  1. I am so glad the transition went smoothly. I know you and Mike still have a lot of work to go but at least the biggest hurdle has been jumped.
