Ok, today is Jamie's birthday and I went to see Mom and Dad. The weather was nice, so we sat outside for nearly 2 hours. Dad especially loves it outside. All he wanted was a big chew of tobacco and to sit there. He always gets in the swing and just truly relaxes when he's out there. Mom was in her wheelchair and kept falling asleep. When I first got there Mom was just 'talking' like she does. All of a sudden she goes: I'm just so old! I'm like--WHERE does this come from! Isn't that bizarre!?! It never ceases to amaze me when she does that. Anyway, they were ok today. Dad said that Mom usually either was asleep or talking. He said one time that even though she did this he still loved her! How sweet is that. That's the kind of love we all need. It truly is the through good times and bad times love. I let Dad talk to Jamie for her birthday. He was just talking away and then handed the phone to Mom! I cracked up. Anyway, they were ok. Today was really emotional for me down there. There are times that it is just such sadness for me for them. I left and Dad's telling me to be careful. It was sweet. Anyway, for today they were ok. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JAMIE! I LOVE YOU AND DON'T THINK YOU'RE GETTING OLD!!!!!!!! lol! Ok, love you all, Jeanie
