Today is just about the middle day between when Mom passed away (Sept. 9th) and when Dad passed away, (August 16th) So it’s kind of appropriate that today is the day when they both are going to the ranch. It’s still hard to believe they’re both gone. Every day I miss them both very much.
When I was a kid, probably about 10 years old, Dad said he wanted to be buried or have his ashes spread by the big tree by the old cabin. Apparently, according to Mom, I said “Ok I’ll drag you up there”. They always teased me about this growing up. To be honest I don’t remember saying it when I was 10Â but Mom sure did so I know it’s true. So here we go, off to the big tree down by the old homestead cabin. It’s a good day to go, sunny with blue skies and around 70 degrees. I’m sure they’ll both be happy there together.
Jag scored a goal in soccer practice and broke a couple kids legs (figuratively) with his moves and has a game today at 4. Sonny spent the night and of course they are all sleeping. I was going to take them along but it’d just be a 6 hour car ride for them. Jag said he’d go if I wanted him to but I told him to sleep in as he has a game and has some homework.
Time to get moving as it’s 6:05 right now and I’d like to leave in 40 minutes so we’re back before 2. Hope everyone is well. Time to get out dad’s best hat as I’m taking it along and get going to take them to their final resting place. God Bless you all and God Bless Mom and Dad.
