I haven't spent much time with Mom this week. I mean- we all live together, but I haven't had time to sit and visit much. Sermons, hospital visits, funeral preparations have all been in the forefront. Spent a little time with her when the kids were here. It was good to sit and talk with my mom and my daughter. My daughter did most of the talking and I could breathe and not be the bad guy for awhile.
Tomorrow after I preside over the funeral (for a woman who died on her 55th wedding anniversary), Dad has a cardiologist appointment. I don't think we'll get much information, but I hope we will find out the results of the stress test. Dad joked that waiting for the test was a part of the stress test itself. I believe the wait after is...
My brother is going to get here on Wednesday evening. I hope this is good timing so he and Dad can spend some time together. My bro may not be here for the surgery itself, but at least he will get to see Dad before hand.
Dad is worried what we will do after he has his surgery, because he won't be able to drive Mom to get her hair done each Friday for a few weeks. My first reaction wasn't very kind so I kept that to myself. Instead, I told him we would do what we can. My mother's obsession with getting her hair done bothers me- always has. This is nothing new. Dad put off going to the ER once because Mom would miss her hair appointment! Ain't going to happen again!
Okay. Time for bed and up early to go over funeral meditation. Prayers coveted for tomorrow. For the family in mourning and for my mom and dad.

Honestly, when he has the surgery everyone has to make sacrifices and if that means she has to go to Pam's instead of Sherry's that's what will need to happen... it's not like a few weeks or so someone else couldn't do it.. other gals have done it at Sherry's when she's been on vacation...
I've never understood it either... but I think it all goes back to the way of life she was used to in Chicago... they had money and it was status.. just like not even batting an eyelash at buying a $50.00 purse that's almost the same as the one she has and talking about having to get everything to match the new one... it's the way she was used to living before...
I;m wiliing to do what I can when I can but with us only having the one car I have no way to get out there and help.. wish I could.. If you need me I'm here.. and am so glad my uncle will be here for a while to see grandpa!!!
