4 Weeks

Friday was 4 weeks since Dad died. Debbie and I shared tears and laughter. I have always been the Mommy & Daddy's girl and stayed in contact with my folks regularly. My Mom was never a phone person, but it was her I talked with until the last couple of years. It switched to my Dad and he always let me know how much he appreciated my calls. I was finally learning not to ask him how he was as it was usually not very good. Friday when I was talking to Debbie,I shared that I missed not being able to call him and asking him how he was and then saying to myself "Rats..why did I ask that??!!" We both got a laugh out of that!

Reg's folks came to visit Friday night until Saturday afternoon. I see signs of decline with them, though nothing like my folks. Just the continual repeating themselves. Don seems sleepy a lot. But, they still seem to be very active and I'm thankful for that and thankful they are in my life.

Debbie and Lenard come home from Ketchikan today. She called around 1ish from Bellingham. They will stop and see Mom before going home to Salem.
