Thank you all for all of your posts. I cherish every word being said.
A quick update - I've secured the Patriot Guard for his service...took my sister and I gathering some info we'd honestly never seen ourselves, like his Air Force card, dates of service, etc...we were both shocked to see he served for 6 years. I think we both thought it was just 4, so even now, this late in the game, we're learning things we thought we already knew
It's been a tough week...controlling his pain is paramount, and it's a daily struggle. I swear, my phone will not stop ringing. Dad, my sister, my aunts, my uncle, hospice many times each day...it's a lot to keep up with, but I'm thankful my sister arrived from Colorado and she's stepping up to help with a ton of things that have mostly been on me. Last night, for the first time in a long time, I got to go straight home after work and do laundry, menial stuff that you don't realize relaxes you and makes you feel somewhat normal. I also laid outside (pulled down the ramp of the Busa hauler LOL) and watched clouds roll by while I let our tortoise walk around and eat clover. I probably laid there for an hour
It was nice...it's the little things these days...
