Sad Passing

Well, David's Mom passed away on Monday, about 1:30 in the morning. That's why I haven't posted much the past few weeks, I was over there every day. She had a couple mini-strokes in June, then shortly after I came back from Nevada she had a fall. It was downhill from there, she dropped a little more every day. She was a peace before she died, and most of the family was able to see her and talk to her. It was amazing, she had her faculties in tact- Friday morning she reminded us that her rent needed to be paid!

Life just seems to move so fast, I was looking at our wedding pictures, with David's parents standing by us. We were so young and naive! We thought we were oh so mature, criminy, we didn't have a clue. Mom and Dad looked great, they were moving toward their 60's then. Ouch, we are their age now. Where did all those years go, the many memories that have faded from view, crowded out by today, and all the events that have happened in recent times.

OK, enough of that. I finished the Haines book, it is actually at the Publishers right now. It has as many stories as I could gather, and over 200 family pictures in it. I'm pretty happy about it, but you know there will be things I've missed, and mistakes I wish I could fix. But, it's done, and I'm very happy about that!
