Weepy eyes, want a birthday hug from mom and dad

Sitting next to Dad's bed - Kimmarie Gaye
This last year and a half have been the same for our family, my mother with multiple strokes, a brain injury from a fall and dementia, my husband's mom passing away and now, this last week I have spent at my dad's side holding his hand, and sleeping in his hospital room as he struggles with his own passing. It has not been easy, and i can not express how hard it is to tell someone they are dieing and that chemotherapy will not help them.
I watch as this strong man who only last fall traveled from Coast to coast to dine with the president, and now the inaugural invitation lies in the drawer of his hospital room. Visitors stream in and out, he has touched so many lives. He rallies a bit with each new person, smiles and visits and tells them he will get better, but at nights when it is just he and i, he hallucinates as his past intrudes into this moment. He wakes, struggling to arise with a body that no longer responds to try and find his wallet so that he can pay for his anniversary dinner, he claps his hands to scare off the animal that peeks through the cabin window, he cries out for love from his mother that died when he was only 13.
And through it all, I smile at him even as the tears drip from my nose and cheeks.

Amazon Listmania and Wish lists
I updated my May/June reading listmania list so I can keep track of what I read this year. I still haven't figured out exactly how to link to the lists because of the url possibly having a session key included in the url.
I bought myself a few books from Amazon for myself for my birthday and also went through my book piles here at home to get my next few reads ready.

Happy Birthday to ME!
Had a small dinner with the essential crowd tonite, Dad-Doye, Cuz'n Paula, Carmie, myself and of course the SadieJane. Carm made a great dinner, rice, marinated flank steak with organically grown onions, garlic and shitaki mushrooms, Chicken in a soy mustard marinade, rice, grilled zucchini and white onions and a romaine salad. Desert was a cheesecake. Paula added Brownies and homemade cookies with cranberries, raisins and white chocolate in the mix. Add french roast coffee and juices and it sounds like a gourmet birthday dinner.
And we do this about once a week!

Perky Penguins
I started another blog tonite to write about bargains and money deals. If nothing else the blogging is a good way of organizing thoughts. The new blog can be found at http://perkypenguins.blogspot.com
Next blog consideration is for Haiku House so that I can write about the history of the seventeenth street house.

Fartosaurus
Sadie Jane earned a new nickname this weekend. Sue and Ben were visiting and slept downstairs with Sadie. I guess between the clicking toenails, the slurping of water and the random farts, it was difficult to sleep. Sorry about that Sue! Carmie had some long talks with Ben about Dinosaurs and tried to convince Ben that the reason that there are no more dinosaurs was gang violence and smoking. He also kept trying to convince Ben that Sadie was a dinosaur. Well, between Sadie Jane beng herself and the dino talks, she earned the nickname Fartosaurus.
