You got it Pat! If you need a stop over going to or coming from Texas, just let me know! Sooo happy for all of you about Baby Margaret! Love ya all, Judy!!

It is all very hard to deal with emotionally - both for Mother and Daddy.  I try not to think deeply about it most of the time because it's too sad.  I still think Mother is still there and it is sad when I realize she's not.
On a happier note, Baby Margaret should be arriving soon.  Molli went to the Dr. today and she is dilated to 2 and 75% effaced(?).  If she doesn't go in to labor before Wednesday she will be induced on that day (the 4th).  Her Dr. said that she would not be surprised if she does not deliver before then.  As soon as we get the word, we are heading to Texas for a week.  I'm very nervous about all this, but at the same time, very excited to see that baby's face.  Keep us in your prayers for a safe delivery and a healthy baby.  Love you, pat

Jamie I hate all of that for you! I had the flu or what felt like it ( hit me on the way home right after the funeral) but started an antibiotic since it felt it was going to my chest and I'm almost over it all. Maybe it's time to go to,the doctor about it?? Stomach bug I didn't have nor do I want!!lol. I do know what you mean about not facing the whole thing but doing it in little bites has helped. I've had several meltdowns but try to get out of that deep hole ASAP! if you need to call to talk, just call! I've been in wedding mode since Christmas ended and once that's behind me, I'll probably be calling you!! Take care of yourself!! Dad is doing ok! Love to all, Judy

Sorry I haven't been on here..I'm still trying to feel normal again..or some version of normal! The flu hit me about an hour outside of LakeCity after I left Dad and I just can't seem to shake it. My head and cough are starting to be better, I think.. Now I've got a stomach flu as well and I just dizzy all the time. I've been back in to see the eye doctor thinking this new prescription might be off so he did put me in a new trial script and u swear it's worse!! I see him again on Friday! I say a prayer for Dad every day..the whole thing is so gut wrenching I really still just can't let myself think about it.. I just feel so out of sorts..not normal at all.. My mind just doesn't work and I feel so disconnected from reality.. I've got to find a way to get my life back in order but I can't seem to find a way or the will to work on it. I hope as I start to get over this flu for real,I'll start to get back on track. I think I thought I would feel more relief that Moms suffering is over but I'm not there yet...hope things are going good on your end..Love you all,Jamie

It will always be weird there without Mom I'm sure. I still can't say her name or have anyone ask about her/me without crying. Getting through the wedding will be hard without Dean and Mom being there. Leisa and Bryan both found a dime today which makes her feel Dean is with her which is awesome! Love to all, Judy

I went to see dad today. He ate great as in cleaned his plate ! Debbie said he did this morning and all yesterday. She ordered a chest x-ray for dad because he has a cough . He just disn't say much of anything today. I kept talking and he really never replied
d. They had gotten him up for the x-ray so maybe he was tired. It is so weird down there without mom
Being there. It just has a different feel for me right now. Anyway he was ok. Didn't ask where mom was---I was glad. Still haven't seen the other Margaret! Love you all, jeanie

Pat did you see the one Ryan posted on Facebook too? Oh wait I know you did under Molli's account!!!lol. I had a hard time yesterday too but have had the flu I think ever since I got home and not sure how to divide the tears between feeling awful and sadness! I just have to keep reminding myself of what Jim said about what a great Christmas Mom had in heaven! I know that's true too but sometimes I forget because I miss her and what she stood for. Hope all of you had a great Christmas with family/friends! Love to all of you, Judy
