Such a great start, Harriet!
Very appropriate for dh’s father’s day “gift. “
I gave him the rough draft of my collection of stories from his ddad’s life. He LOVED it. LOVED it!!! Spent 2 hrs telling me more to add to it, bc each incident reminded him of something else.
As I said before, Friday was my memory day for my ddad.
As y’all know, my relationship with my dad was s little more complicated. We butted heads sooo much, and he was so critical and had such high expectations of me. He and dh’s mom were so alike. Dh said last night, “I know my mother loved me every bit as much as my daddy, but he just let me be myself and... she was just so controlling and... smothering.”
I said, “Like I am with ds?”
Dh assured me no, that I do NOT go over and replace ds’s curtains without asking... or hard-prune the shrubs... or inspect the pantry...
sheesh. Yep, THAT was dmil’s style. (Ddad didn’t do those things, either, thank goodness!!!)
Anyway. We went to church and stayed for going-away brunch for preacher, came home and did the normal Sunday stuff. Ds called to wish Dh a happy Father’s Day. Said he would call back after their show tonight and AU baseball game.
(((Cathy and dh))) Just heartbreaking to see what horrible times you and your Dh survived, but so happy for the beautiful life you have made for yourselves.
Thinking of all who are in poor health or just puny, as Nancy said, and all those who are doing the caregiver role. (((Twins))) (((LadyM))) especially in my prayers.
Also giving thanks that Mr. Dee's doctor acted quickly!
I’m working on my BWP and trying to focus on making it s habit to HAVE a plan and follow it, as much as possible. If I knew that Monday was WHB day and just ACTED on it, I wouldn’t sit around thinking “What do I want to do today?” — right? That’s the idea. I kinda have the s2s 1st thing habit down, except for Saturdays, but I still have a HUGE problem with inertia after I’m dressed.
