I overslept this morning because I stayed up so late last night.
I started the day going to Boot Camp exercise. It was so fun because not only were the people there from this summer, but so was my niece Rachel and her friend Bailey, and Debbie. It was a giant party!
This was during a break.
We spent a lot of time together yesterday. Beth was doing a lot of errands and preparation. I was dozing. What can I say? We work to our strengths.
The visitation was in the afternoon and evening. We stopped by at noon, then went back at 6:30pm. It was really nice. My dad looked great, and there were lots and lots of wonderful visitors. Again, the room was filled with loud talking and laughing.
My co-workers sent flowers. They were beautiful. I had a little chuckle, because earlier this week, one of my co-workers was talking about her dad’s funeral and how there were flowers from her brother’s work and her sister’s church group. Since she was from far away, there were no flowers connected with her. Later in the day some flowers came from us at school. She turned to her siblings and said: “I DO have friends!” Hehe…
I DO have friends!
Beth’s co-workers sent flowers too. She had a chuckle, because they were so pink. It’s her favorite color.
We ended the evening at my mom’s house with lots of eating and drinking and talking and laughing.
A busy, busy day filled with love and support. Your family is very blessed. 🙂
How wonderful to be surrounded with loving family and friends, those both near and far. Your family is remembered in prayer this day and in the days still to come. God’s peace be with you.
We prayed for you and your family during staff devotions. I’m amazed by how many people on the staff have connections with your dad and fun stories to share!
