(We miss you, Aunt Jean! Enjoy Dad's post. ~ Tracy)
Derf Here! Coming to you today from the great Northeast. The sun is bright and the thermometer is low. It is a cold day. Probably in the 30s all day. May warm up to close to 50 in a couple days. Here's hoping!
Well, our local football season is over as Josh's team lost in the semi-finals of the state playoffs. I figured out that the season was over when I looked at the clock and we were behind 7-0 after only 17 seconds had been played. A real bad omen. A great season came to a quick end. Now waiting for baseball season.
Probably most of you know that sister Jean's earthly struggles are now over. Complications, as a result of colon cancer, finally took their toll. She transitioned to her new home last Saturday.
Thanks go to her caregivers allowing her to rest comfortably and without pain during her final days. Also a great thank you to my niece Kathy and her husband Gordon for their care throughout the ordeal.
This Saturday, November 16, will be a full day of activity for our family. This will be the day that we say our final goodbyes to sister Jean. It is very fitting that her granddaughter, Rev. Heather Henson, will lead us in this transition.
This same day (the 16th) marks the 100th birthday of our mother. After all the ceremonies are over we will celebrate grandson Zack's 13th birthday. He was born on his great-grandmother's birthdate! Josh was also born on his great-grandmother's birthday -- but on his father's side. Kind of easy to remember their birthdates. Quite unique!
Saturday is sure to have its range of emotions. Just writing this causes me to have several different emotions. I've written enough.
Soo....
Until next time!
Toodle Pip!
Derf!
