I decided to strip out his bathroom as he had fallen asleep on the bed in the guest room.

Had a kitchen catcher handy to toss all the old toiletries in – I came across his “Obsess*on” – it brought back so many memories for me. He was no longer using it the last year he worked – I think he just forgot to.

Lifted the cover off – it just gave me major goosebumps – I loved the fragrance and it was “him”.

Tossed it in the bag – I don’t want to go thru that again.
***I got it back out of the trash. I decided there were a lot of nice memories attached to it. Every morn, just before leaving for work, we’d hug goodbye and I remember saying, “Mmm, you smell so nice.” So, it’s back in his vanity – surprisingly, it hasn’t “turned” after several years – still as good as ever!

You would have been 87 today, Dad. We thought of you all day and talked about our memories. I can barely look at this picture for expect you to say something – it’s so you.

Thanks for all the love and devotion to our family.

Will love and miss you forever.

No more computer for you, Madame. Shirl just called from Vancouver – they just left the hospital, heading home on a 5 hour drive. Hope she got good meds for the trip.

I’m off to the cat hotel to get their cat, deposit her home. They’ll call 1/2 hour from home and W&I will head back in with dinner for the 4 of us. Think I’ll pick up a cake at Safewa* – maybe that will boost her spirits – and mine.

That will give W something to do – help unload their van – crutches, walker, luggage, etc.

She has 6 steps to get to main floor so it will be good to have extra people around.

Have a great Saturday – it’s sunny here but cool.

BTW, she said this knee surgery was “easier” than the first – but they did the more urgent one last year.
