Sorry for the delay in posting. My dad's hospitalization, death, and related "business" has kept everyone busy. A few weeks ago my parents started the process of getting into a retirement facility. So my mom, in addition to losing her husband of 36 years and having to plan a memorial, is also having to downsize immediately in prep for putting their house of 35 years (there was enough stuff in the garage to prove it) on the market and tie up loose ends in order to move into the retirement facility. My mom says she couldn't have accomplished anything without help from us, my brother's family that drove down from Oregon, Denise's caregiver, my dad's long-time buddy that drove down from Mt. Shasta, my nurse aunt's family, and some great neighbors with pickup trucks that were able to haul stuff off.
I had the week off from work for Easter vacation, and had scheduled lots of appointments for Denise. Those were loaded with encouraging news, and I'll relate the specifics in another post. We postponed Jacob's birthday party. Even though my dad wanted Denise & I to go ahead with it and carry on "business as usual," we didn't have the time or emotional fortitude to throw a party yesterday.

Those of you that knew my dad well will not be surprised by him not wanting anyone to "waste" money on flowers, preferring that you contribute the money to one of his favorite organizations to make a lasting impact instead...
