Well... the Annual Family Deer Hunting/Turkey Day week has begun! Cathy's house is filled with the sound of kids laughing (sometimes crying), dogs barking, snack munching, cards playing, men joking, etc... Only one thing is missing this year... Cathy!!
It is such a strange feeling... sitting here in the house this week... knowing she is sitting in the nursing home down the road. Feeling guilty enjoying the time with family & friends, but mostly sadness that she is not here with us.
Brad went along with Toby on Saturday to see their Mom. Toby was prepared for the changes... I can't speak for him... but when we asked how it went he said he noticed how much weaker she was. He feels like she knew it was him, she brought him the build a bear he made her & squeezed it's hand.
We will all take turns visiting her this week. Lots of family & friends are in town from North Dakota, Iowa, Georgia, & Utah!
