Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

08:22AM -- I just wanted to wish everyone a very happy Thanksgiving. The boys and I are going to my mom's on Thanksgiving day. Most of our family will be there and it will be the first one I've spent away from home in years. I am going to go Friday and order our headstone. It'll take several months before it's actually put in place. I've got the paperwork ready to go in the mail for his military marker also. I've tossed it over so many times on which to order. The bronze, granite or marble one. The bronze one - which would match his casket - doesn't hold up as well under the elements. The granite one seems to last the longest, but the marble one is nice, too. I need to contact the cemetery association and find out what needs to be done (how to handle) installation.

I dropped off over a case of Larry's Ensure at the dialysis unit yesterday afternoon and visited with his nurses, techs and dietician. Needless to say we all ended up in tears. They told me how much they miss both of us over there, and how much respect Larry had earned from everyone in dialysis. They said he had so much dignity and character -- teaching all of them something. I didn't realize until I turned onto Clifton Street and met another lady and her mother (who's on dialysis) leaving what time it was. We waved at one another and I glanced at the clock...I would have been picking Larry up at that time. Of course, that set the stage for my emotions on top of walking back into the building. But I did want to visit with those who had taken care of him for the past 4½ years.

Anyway...I just want to wish all of you a very Happy and Safe Thanksgiving!!!
