20120513 + Preperations

20120513 + Up to a rainy Mother's Day.  We all headed into church for Sunday School.  In our class they went around the room and said nice things about each person; I was first and shut off my ears, I couldn't listen to nice things today about myself with all the emotions I am holding inside to get through the current events...  But what I did hear was very nice...  Home got things in order and then headed to the Farm.  We stopped in at the hospital and saw Mary, John and Martha John on way in, they had a good time at the party last night.  We went up and had a nice visit with dad and then Russ, Nancy and mom arrived shortly after.  We all chatted a bit and then everyone but me left.  Dad and I talked about what needed done, where things were, made plans, covered our bases and talked about God a bit.  Michael stopped in and gave us an update on Louise, she is in a lot of pain and they will move here to hospice soon to get the pain under control.  When dad's supper came I headed out to the Farm to get some things done.  He was in good spirits and looks good and acts like himself.  Getting more anxious each day about the surgery (we all are).  We all jumped on the pug and checked the fences.  I turned off the water to the spring, looked for dad's glasses and then we went up to the house to get the family room ready for dad's arrival home.  Once things were situated we headed out looking for a place to eat and ended up at Denny's and everyone ate a ton.  Home trying to prep for the week...
