Much Needed Support
I didn’t sleep much last night – kept waking up realizing that Goldie was no longer by my side. When I finally did get up, I tried to start a new routine. Within a few hours I had a wicked headache. I went to Mass with my parents – Pentecost Sunday. It should have been […]
Phone Call and Mail
Today I was going to the post office to drop off a package and my dad said he had something to mail as well. He put together some information for my nephew who is interested in physics. They had a conversation about the subject last time they were together and my dad wanted to share […]
New High School Graduate
Today my nephew graduated from high school. It has been a tumultuous road for him, like it is for most teens. We were even unsure if he was going to make it to the ceremony itself as he was not feeling well. But – he did it. I was so happy I was able to attend. […]
A Good Check-up
Today I took my mom to the doctor for a check-up. Before she went, she wrote down the list of things that she wanted to discuss. My dad jokingly (or not so much) said to make sure to keep the list so he can use it next time he has to go. Her doctor was […]
Rite of Spring
My parents have had season tickets to the Philharmonic Symphony for many years and attend about 8 concerts during the year. Today was the last performance of the season. They asked if I wanted to go too, which I did, so my dad purchased a ticket for me a few weeks ago. We got all […]
Joyful Connections
This morning my mom and I were talking about how she doesn’t get out as much as she used to and how she misses visiting with people. A little later we decided to take her walker outside and go for a short trip around the complex. As soon as we got to the end of […]
New Home
My son and his wife have been working very hard for the past 12 years since their marriage. Like us all, there have been times when they have abundance and times when they have struggled. As they are expecting their 3rd child, they knew the house they had been renting for many years would not […]
All About Physics
Recently my dad received a video course about Higgs boson, which according to Wikipedia is an “elementary particle in the Standard Model of particle physics.” My dad taught college physics for years. He has been watching the video course and reading the accompanying book and said that he needed to go back and review it […]
Music Appreciation
I had a wonderful evening tonight. I started by meeting some of my siblings for dinner. Then we headed over to the high school where my nephew was playing in his last high school concert as he is graduating. There were several different instrumental groups – percussion, jazz band, orchestra, chamber orchestra, quartet, concert band… […]
Treated With Respect
My mom and I had a “big day out” today. First I took her to a doctor’s appointment only to find out that there was a scheduling error, so she could not be seen. But the girls there were nice and told us what needed to be done to get it corrected. We were close to […]
