Yes, TODAY is my Birthday! The big 39 and holding! (I always wanted to say that!)

I know that I have been MIA for the past week and a half...but I warned you about it here. Since that post, Dad has been admitted to the hospital, been in ICU, had surgery and is now in a long term acute care facility. It will probably be a month or so before he can go back to the nursing home, to the safety and familiarity of his own room. For an Alzheimer's patient to wake in a different place is devastating on him to say the least so everyday is a struggle for him and us. I don't know what October brings, but I sure hope that it's better than what September had to offer.
So knowing that I'm waking up to cooler weather, great friends & family, another year, & many birthday wishes...I am truly blessed today!!!! yay!
I am ready to celebrate my birthday month...everyday, for 31 whole days! Hope you'll celebrate with me!
Have I told you thank you lately for being a sweet spot in my life?
Thank You!!!

I have been wondering how you and your Dad are doing.

Hi Jodie, you are so cute and such a loving daughter. I feel for you and your dad. What a hard place to be in. Find some way to enjoy this time. I believe there is truely a way to do it. It won't last forever, but it will be the last thing you remember. Do special things with him that you and your family will have when he's gone. I got a little tape for every member of my husbands family. And when my father-in-law was ok, and he could sit and talk, I had him talk to each member of our family individually. Get family picture albums and go over them with him. Play a game that he likes to play. Record funny things he says.
Thank you for catching us up on the news.
