Weekend at Hester's

I was lucky enough to be able to visit with Mom on the 19th thru the 22nd of this month. We had a lovely time, talking and laughing. Bill was also there being very supportive of Mom. We are all lucky that they have such a good friendship and can look out for each other a bit. I did a four mile run and which took me by the cemetary. I started crying as I approached Dad's grave site and went down on my knees in sorrow. I usually try to remember Dad with the happy memories I hold in my heart but visiting in person, well my emotions just spilled over me with great sadness. I kissed his grave stone and continued on my run. All three of us ate at the catfish place in Prentiss and the hot fish was about the best I can ever remember. Charles came down for Saturday dinner and the three of us had many uncontrollable laughs remembering everything good in our lives (and yes, we talked about each and every one of you). Charlie looks great and has overcome the operation in a wonderful show of strength and style. I fixed some doors that were sticking in Mom's bathroom and in the bedroom I was in. I hugged her as many times as I could and kissed as often as she would allow. I am amazed at the life she has lead and at the dedication she has shown to all of us children and especially to Dad. She is truly an angel walking in this old world and we are all so blessed to know her and bask in the glow of her love. My love to you all.
