Thursday the 16th
I have had a lot on my mind this week. My cousin from Gibbon passed on Sunday. The funeral is set for Saturday in Gibbon.
Would-a, could-a, should-a. I have decided to remain home on Saturday. Dennis and I have made it through the winter without being ill or getting hurt. Neither Dennis nor I have tested the endurance that we may have being out and about using canes for stability. We pretty much know what needs to be in our plans before proceeding. It was too much of a risk for a half-hour church service.
I went to see Wayne and his wife after they were in the assisted living unit in Gibbon. Ironically, Wayne and Jean never came when invited to the Penn Church events, nor did they come to Janet’s, Wayne’s last remaining relative of his mom’s family, 93rd birthday.
I need to stuff down the feeling of responsibility and remember who is important . . . Dennis and me, for the long haul that we have been given.
I called Aunt Janet this afternoon and let her know that we would be home on Saturday. Janet is depending on a niece to take her to the funeral. She is fragile and she would like to pay respects to her sister’s only child. She also said she has a lot to think about between now and Saturday.
I did go to the grocery store this morning. We now are set for a week or more.
With that I will take my leave. ♥
