Sadly, we went to MN last week for Uncle Ron's funeral but on the flip side, it was great to see everyone. Dad was in wonderful spirits being around his family. We never got up to MN because dad always had to work and only got vacation time in the winter. The winters in MN are usually bad so we never drove up. But now that dad is "retired", we will be able to get up there more often. It was wonderful to see how happy he was and how much fun we all had even given the circumstances. It was great seeing family and for me, meeting family I only met when I was little. Now I can officially put faces with names that I have always heard so much about! It was also great to hear how many people this blog helped stay updated. I mainly wrote it hoping his brothers and sisters would follow it and found out many of my cousins have been checking up on him through here. Thank you, as always, for the support!
Dad has been working hard to wear parts of "Fred" So that way his leg will be ready in March. I just hope the blood thinners don't keep him from getting to wear Fred around. We will keep saying our prayers. Grandma was in the hospital over Christmas and then went to rehab. She is back at home with Aunt Nancy and has day nurses to help her.
After this week and Uncle Ron's passing, it always serves as a reminder to always feel blessed for who you have in your life and around you. Our prayers go out to the family and know that we are always here to support you!
