to eat on his birthday but we didn't really talk about him. I followed my Mom's lead and it was obvios she was struggling. 68 years of marriage - can you imagine?

I was able to get into her house today (I had a stroke) and my husband and I spent the afternoon with her. We always spent holidays with them because my siblings didn't. We did talk about Dad and laughed at some of the things he did. Then I sobbed all the way home.

It seems all the shirts are gone. I don't know why I didn't ask before. I started my Dad's love affair with those shirts when I bought him one in Florida. He loved all the pockets.

I'm sorry your Mom passed away. I hope you are well.

I can't believe how much I miss him and how hard it is.
