Another day, another John Wayne movie. Last night it was The War Wagon and today it's The Horse Soldiers. How many John Wayne movies were made anyway? Mom is doing OK today, she slept well, but had a little pain. If she dreamt she doesn't remember it. This morning the snow arrived and then promptly melted. Dad and I set up a chair on the porch and she came outside to watch the big snow flakes come down. It was very hard to say "Goodbye" yesterday, and even harder I imagine for those who had to say it. It was a wonderful time of fellowship with the family gathered, Mom had both her children with her again, and it really brightened her spirit. So many laughs and memories were shared. After everyone had left Mom was able to read the notes written to her, each word written with so much love, touched her deeply. It's more quiet here now, and not so much laughter ah but John Wayne helps us soldier on. :)
