Yesterday

[captain_slinky]

Yesterday was the one-year anniversary of the day my Dad died. Despite much sorrow and dread leading up to it, it was a delightful day spent with my family! We drove up to Mount Vernon to get my Mom and then off to visit Dad's tombstone in Anacortes (home town). We put a wreath on the grave and left a bottle of his Rhubarb Wine (with two wineglasses which we had drank a toast with), then off to Subway for lunch. It was all very laid-back and we all had quite a bit of fun :)

Wel left town and made it all the way to Smokey Point before we needed to turn around and head back to Mount Vernon - Mom was in the Emergency Room. Another one of her Panic Attacks that feels *exactly* like a Heart Attack :( We stayed till a doctor told us that everything was okay, then we headed home.

Once we got home, we found a package on our doorstep from Santa's Helpers - a funky little 5-foot-tall plastic white tinsel Christmas Tree!

I am so glad to read that you celebrated his life. Re: your mother, anniversaries will do that to a person.

Aw, I hope your mom gets to feeling better soon. That's not uncommon on an anniversary like that. You must all miss him so much. At least you got to spend time together remembering him.
