Summer Lovin' Happened So Faaaaast....
Props to the musical 'Grease' for my title today.....one of my fav movies of all time!
So, where have I been for 2 months? I went to my cousins wedding in Abbotsford, came home, the girls finished off school and then it was off to Medicine Hat for 3 glorious weeks with my BFF Heather.....so, I'm back now and feel like I have nothing interesting to blog about!
This weekend was supposed to be a big celebration for my family....we were celebrating my Grandparents 60th anniversary....but a week ago my Grandpa decided he would have a heart attack (ok, he didn't 'decide', it just sounds funnier that way!) so he is in Vancouver awaiting a quintuple (yes, I wrote QUINTuple...count 'em people, that's FIVE!) bypass because he has one artery that is 100 percent blocked, and all the others are 80 percent blocked. Oh yes, and just for fun, he has a leaky heart valve, a blood clot, pneumonia and kidney stones. Anyway, party cancelled. Grandma has been moved to the Bulkley Lodge for care and here we sit wondering, waiting and praying.
Isn't getting old fun?
My family has rallied together...that's the cool thing about my family. The community has been really great too....
This weekend was going to be a celebration of a marriage that has stood the test of time...I just hope it's not the celebration of a life lived to the fullest....of a man who has given to God and his family more than I could ever write on my wee little blog....it's selfish I know, but I just want a little more time for some Sunday night frozen pizza and oreo's at Grandpa's (side note.....that might be the reason I struggle with my WEIGHT????), or another story about when Grandpa was in dry dock when the second world war ended.....or maybe just another 'old spice' hug.
