Domenick's last mass. 
What a blessing the whole occassion turned into.
We didn't plan anything, but almost all of our family somehow felt the need to be present and was.
The mass was beautiful, the choir...Pentecost...and father's farewell blessing...and then he even said a few words!?!? And made us all cry.
We had a lovely lunch spread after...fruit for the kids...and the best watermelon! and micki cherry pie's...and torte...and monkey bread...Italian meats and cheese..something for eveyone!
And then everyone left fairly early to go back into their day...perfect...
Today the visits at the hospital were nice.
It's amazing the contrast in people of the same age. I visited with two 85 year old women today...one just mouthed the words..."wanna go home"...over and over, the other reminded me of my step mom, it was her first hospital visit, her heart was racing...she doesn't take any meds, doesn't even have a primary care giver, still works at her church...just very with it...young looking and acting. She also wanted to go 'home', but not to that distant place of someday...but back to her own life and healthy world!?!?
I want to be married to my husband "60" years
and I want him by my bedside
or I want to be by his...
But to have that happen we have to work at it... day by day.
Last photoshop class tonight, show and tell!??!Sometimes I feel there are too many feelings and thoughts running thru my mind, I'd love to grasp them all, account for them all...yet I cannot.
The richness
The fullness
of life
