-Jerry's father was released from the hospital on Thursday of last week. His sodium level was up and he was sent home quicker than you can say medicare. He continues to never complain to a soul. We all know that he has such wonderful care & support by his children, brothers, sisters & friends. There always is a family member or friend near by to share a conversation with Harold. His wife Janet and daughter Jennifer take such good care of him, he is unconditionally loved by so many.
Now Sophia never forgets her grandpa. Even though she does not see him a lot, she never misses a beat with him, just curls up in his lap and loves him. You can see from the photos below, they are good buddies. This weekend, Jerry's cousins Rick, Laura & Gayle had a surprise B-Day/Welcome Home Party for their brother Bill. They were so kind to invite Sophia and I.
Harold's brother Mike picked him up from Athens and brought him to the party.
Bill is moving into his father's home. Bill, Rick, Laura & Gayle lost their father just 1 year old to a courageous battle with cancer. I think Dick Mourne spirit was there and probably enjoyed the fellowship and laughs. Even though, I did not know Dick very well.... there was a lot of talk about him and the fun always surrounded by him. He is loved dearly by so many.

Sophia with Great Aunt Bernadine-My next update is about my parents/family in Iowa. So many have asked if my parents were in harms way with all the tornadoes, floods, severe weather. Thankfully, they live in an area that has not been hit too hard. They do have friends in Parkersburg, Iowa who's home and business was destroyed with the Memorial Weekend tornadoes and have friends fighting the floods in Cedar Rapids. My mom mentioned there was a 10 minute storm with high winds that brought down some tree limbs in their yard and sadly killed 2 people when a tree fell on the front of a car. My mom summed it up yesterday when she said..... We are done with this crazy weather.
So a lot is going on in everyone's life..... I will keep you posted as I know more.
So, I am sure you are wondering if that little chunk Sophia walking yet.... The answer is No. She is standing in place, walking around furniture, up the walls, around the chair, but not from point A to point B. Everyone keeps telling me that once she starts walking my life will be all over. I find that very hard to believe because I think my life ended almost 13 months ago.
Somebody please answer me...... Why do couples have more than one child????? Who ever answers back with the best response will earn something very special from me......
My mom already told me, it's because people have sex, but I don't like that answer....
Ha Ha!
