it is an adjustment. we are all trying to find our spot. dad has lived between hospitals and the nursing home for eight months. he is used to having his medicine brought to him and his meals prepared for him. it doesn't help that someone dropped the ball and he doesn't have his diabetic medication. and now the nursing home and va are arguing about who did what. i'm to the point that i don't care who's fault it is...i just want it fixed! thankfully, we were able to get an appointment for this morning.
my saving grace this week has been four men...tom, sam, louie, and jack. their hugs and love have made this week much easier. i've also had many hugs, emails, and texts from such wonderful friends. your support means more than words. for some reason my eyes keep watering... it's so overwhelming.
we celebrated my monkey in the middle yesterday. it was such a beautiful day.

notice the cake balls... i took louie's chocolate cake out of the oven. let it cool for a long time. then started icing it. yeah, that didn't go well. thankfully, louie is THAT kind of kid. he looked at me and said, "it's okay mom. we can make cake balls."
it was such a windy spring day as the weather changed yesterday. the boys were living outside. they went fishing in the morning and spent the rest of the afternoon running between the front yards.

Thinking of you during this transition you are all going through. Your dad is so lucky to have you in his life. Keep your head up, you are strong. It will be good for everyone.
