Tonight's picture was taken in June of 2007. That Memorial Day weekend, we took Mattie to Dutch Wonderland in Pennsylvania. It was a first for all of us. Peter snapped this photo before we entered the park. It was an experience we will never forget, as Mattie went on his first roller coaster ride there and was hooked!
Quote of the day: I will never love another. Not like I loved you. I just don’t have the love for it again. ~ Atticus
If I can reach a new low, today was that day. We took my dad out to brunch, like we do every Sunday. He was more out of it than ever. But his appetite is not what it used to be. I have changed up what he eats for weeks now, but I find he doesn't eat well when I take him out. Something he used to love.
In addition to not eating well, he was eating too fast. So much so that you could see the food getting stuck and his inability to swallow. All of this landed up producing hiccups. Which sends my mom and I into a great panic, because my dad has a history of intractable hiccups (meaning hiccups that last for weeks!). If the eating and hiccups wasn't bad enough, then I took him to the bathroom three times while at the restaurant. The third visit required a complete change. Now mind you during this time I am trying to have a break and eat a meal. The one meal during the week that I am not cooking and cleaning up after. Needless to say, as I write this blog, I feel sick to my stomach from just so much activity, jumping up and down, stress, and the constant discussion about the heart break in my life. It is all TOO much.
Three things I am grateful for:
- My roses!
- My rubrum lilies are fully in bloom in the garden!
- Gingerale for my stomach. YES it was a hard day, and looking for the positive at times can be very difficult.
