Saturday October 12

As I am writing this, I can hear little sniffles from down the hall.

It has been another kind of emotional day.

Grandma had a hard night.

The ulcer looks good, but her heart is having troubles.

Brent finally decided it was time for him to go down and be with her.

With them....Gramps needed him there too.

Brent is staying the night with Grandma tonight, after she wouldn't let anyone else stay with her the last few nights.

I am glad he went down.

He said he would tell us if he thought I needed to pack up the kids and head down.

So far, not yet.

The big kids were gone to parties when Dad decided to leave.

So both of them are pretty emotional, because they figure for dad to drive all that way, it must be bad.

And we just don't know.

We don't know if we have days, months, years.....

Brent and I just knew he needed to be there.

I wanted to be there too.....

He sent me this adorable picture tonight.

Gramps makes me smile.

Always has.

Breaks my heart that they have to go though this.

He loves his Little Bear to much.

Anyway....Madi and Cassi both had birthday parties today.

Madi went to Jamie's aunt's cabin, just her and Jamie and Jamie's mom and sisters.

They had a fun time.

They picked her up about 9:30 and she got home around 6.

Cassi had a party from 11-3 (why are parties now-a-days so LONG!!!!)

She had a lot of fun too.

I picked her up at 3:00 and dropped her and the little ones right off at home because I had to rush to the stake baptism that I was in charge of organizing.

That went pretty well, except one of the speakers didn't show up because his truck had broken down up at scout camp from the over-nighter last night :)

Luckily, the primary president was there, (cause I asked her to say a prayer) and she gave the talk :)

But I did have to take her place as the prayer.....which worked out fine.

Port was half good and half bad today.

I know we have had a lot of stress and worry at our house over the last couple days, and I think that works against us sometimes.

I hope that tomorrow can run better.....

I miss having Brent here.....

It's hard when he is at work....but I really don't like it when he is in another state.
