Tonight's picture was taken in May of 2007. I will never forget this moment in time. It was grandparent's day at Mattie's school. It was a very special occasion, as Mattie's school did a great job at planning this day and made grandparents feel special. The logistics of this operation was amazing and they pulled it off beautifully. I was lucky enough to volunteer at the event, so I got to experience it first hand. Grandparents had breakfast under a large tent on the field, they got to hear a choir concert given by the children, and then got to tour their child's classroom. My mom snapped this photo of Mattie and me together. It was our first and very last grandparent's day. Cancer changed everything.

It was another busy day! I dropped my dad off at his memory care center, then came back home, picked up my mom and took her for her hair and nail appointment in the city. Literally I was moving from one thing to another today and felt stressed out because I had a 4pm call that I needed to be home for. Some how I pulled it all off, but truthfully some days, I just want to scream. I am so over worked and emotionally devastated.
The hits just keep on coming with unforeseen expenditures in this house. All I know is I truthfully take it one moment and day at a time. It is the only way I can survive, because the bigger picture right it just too much for me to accept.
