Update on things
Yesterday was a pretty bad day. I broke down several times thinking about Monique's dad.
Monique came home last night around 9:30. I knew she was going to be taking it even harder than me, so when she came in I had a nice fire in the fireplace waiting and a glass of wine. I figured a little comfort would go a long way and I was right. We talked for quite a while. She wanted to pass on the weekend and just stay home, so I spilled the surprise I had for her so she would still make the trip.
We came up to NH this morning and got up here with enough time for her to take a 20 minute cat nap before the massage and facial. As I suspected, these were exactly what she needed. She's taking another nap now. And btw, the massage and facial didn't hurt me any either. ;-)
Her mom will be driving up from FL starting tomorrow morning, stopping in VA for a day and possibly in CT for a day. There will be a memorial service for Bob next Saturday, so we'll be coming up two weekends in a row.
That's about it for now. On the bright side, we'll still be at the wedding tomorrow. I'm not sure how to convey that to either![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

Real hugs tomorrow

suggestion from one who has been there, find a picture that epitomizes her Dad, copy it off, frame it and give it to members of the family. There will be tears but the stories will also come. My Dad at the end was in a poor shape, ill and in pain. Found a photograph of him on his boat on a bright sunny day with a beer in his hand and the biggest smile. Now my memories are of him are of those times and we laugh alot about him. And the shenanagans he used to do. The tears will still fall, they still do - even after 13 years - but the laughter does now as well.

And I whole heartedly agree with the meeting feelings. You are a lovely person and I very much enjoyed our discussion. I look forward to more. :-)
