I used to use this blog as a family activity blog, but it hasn't been used as such in over six years. So now it's my own personal diary/blog, for my random thoughts.... and for journaling travels with my sweet hubby, so I can review the good times later.

It has been one year since Daddy passed away. And the pain is as raw as it was this hour one year ago. I miss him. We all do. We cry together.

Dear Loved Ones,
I too spent yesterday crying, but also remembering some of the good times with Dad. I went through some old pictures, and Vernon found an envelope with Dad's distinctive handwriting on it... Today is Memorial Day for Fallen Soldiers in Israel -- Daphna laid a wreath at a memorial in the north, in memory of a soldier she knew... May we know no more sorrow.
David left for Korea this morning and I miss him already. He won't be gone that long, the job contract is just through May with a possible extension til December. And besides, he doesn't even live in the same state as me any more, so what's the big deal? I think it's a Mom-Radar thing. He's flying out of my Mom Radar, and I won't be able to track him any longer, at least not as easily, ha! *sigh* Seems we can't wait for our kids to grow up and then when they do, it's WHAMMO we miss them so much.
First of all, THANK YOU to everyone who donated to bring Sherry to town for DadTate's upcoming surgery. June Tate, David Whetstone, Rickey Gans, Dave Tate, and Susan Walker have already sent in their money to help make this happen. Robin Dion and Tommy Tate have also pledged to donate. God bless you all, it means so much to Dad to have ALL his children here as he enters into this ordeal. Looks like DadTate will go into Mesa General Hospital on March 24 for the open heart surgery. He will be in intensive care after the operation for about a week, then probably another week or two on the telemetry ward, and then he will be able to go home. There is a 15% chance he may not survive the surgery, so we didn't schedule the surgery till the 24th so all the kids could arrange to be here. (That's why we took up the collection as mentioned above to bring Sherry over from Israel.) I know 15% sounds like a high risk, but there is a 40% chance he won't survive more than a couple of m...
