Sunday....May 9th...2010

We went to Federal Way for Memorials for Dave's step sister and Mom...both passing from lung cancer..so it was very personal in more ways than one....step brother Mick put together a nice get to gether including a memorial of pictures on computer..of which we were able to get a copy to digest in slower times..also one had been done of Dave's step sister....so we have that too.
.
Step sister Kelly was there as well as her daughter and her husband and 4 kids....daughter Wendy was there with son in law Chris and grand daughter Taigen.....daughter Janine made the trip with us from Oregon.
.
Linda held up well....better than we expected...she "rises to the occasion" once again. For a round trip of over 300 miles and a gathering of many people over 3 hours....she held up extremely well.
.
Linda has pretty much figured out that her back/pleuritic pain was caused by the coughing from the "Florida crud". Then the pain meds caused the nausea...which has diminished by no longer needing the pain meds....it all makes sense....
.
Tomorrow we are looking at a potential home in Sherwood before going back to the condo possibility for the third time...all with realtor daughter in law Jenn....are we getting closer to a decision...we shall see..
.
Pictures today of attendees at the Memorials and the many faces of grand daughter Taigen....my future "rocket scientist" (which she very loudly denies....and claims she is going to be a "Mom")....

I am struck each time I look at the family memorial picture by the beauty of your family. The circle of life--the sadness of the your mom and the cherished row of little ones in front of all of you. It's an extraordinary photo.
Bless you all.
