Tonight's picture was taken in June of 2007. That Memorial Day weekend we took Mattie to Dutch Wonderland in Pennsylvania. Mattie had an amazing time! I will never forget his first ride on a roller coaster. I was scared to death and even now at my age, I have yet to EVER be on a roller coaster in my life. They are not for me, as movement makes me sick to my stomach. I did not know if Mattie was going to be like me or Peter. Turned out Mattie loved the thrill of the ride. He even met Duke the Dinosaur while at the park!
Quote of the day: I gave you the best of me.~ Nicholas Sparks
Today has been a total blur. I was either on the phone, glued to the computer, or helping my parents. I am desperately trying to put together a 15th anniversary video for the Foundation for our June newsletter. Just about two days ago I was freaking out because I had to learn the new technology! As Microsoft has removed Video Editor and replaced it with Clip Champ. I have now gotten a full handle on Clip Champ and I am plugging away on the creation! It is very hard to tell our Foundation's 15 year story in four short minutes. But I am doing it! I am hoping to keep plugging away through the weekend, with eventually a final product.
My dad's physical therapist came over today. My dad is slowing down significantly, but we keep at it, trying to get him up, walking, keeping his strength up, because this is crucial to keeping him more independent. My dad feels that we are pestering him. He told me to wait until I am almost 90! My response is that I hope I age better than him, because I do not have a Vicki to turn to for help, support, and care. A sad and frightening reality for me.
Three things I am grateful for:
- Sun and warm weather.
- Butterflies in my garden.
- Knowing that Mattie loved me. Without a doubt!
