Yeah, I know they have passed away and are as we say “working from the home office,” but it didn’t stop me from taking a short detour through that part of Evansville and eat an early dinner after putting some flowers on both their graves.  I really wished I had more time than just a “drive-by,” but on this trip unfortunately I did not.  I left after my short dinner for home and unloaded my car, and I put in a load of laundry that I need for tomorrow…..and tomorrow begins with Father Robert and I leaving for Ohio at 6am!

But the short personal stop was an important one.  I miss them both, yet I also remember both their struggles at the end of their lives.  My sister faced hers bravely and was amazing, my mom’s ability to do that was taken away by Alzheimer’s and not knowing, I believe at least for her, was a gift.

So my trip was productive and I was able to meet some amazing people, and that was a deep blessing to me!  Tomorrow really continues that trip, although we will be back around dinnertime.  The big blessing however tonight is my own bed…..that I will get into just as soon as I put everything in the dryer.

Goodnight my friends and God Bless!
