Natalie’s Guidelines and newest post is here.
Thanks to Natalie, the Explorer, for hosting this prompt.
I would tell you that my dad’s funeral was sad, but we were grateful that he was out of his pain and finally back with his wife, his soulmate. Since he was in the military they had a flag line leading into the funeral home and then the Air Force came out to present the flag.
Losing my dad was harder than losing my mom. Although I am the oldest child I was unable to take care of the things that needed to be done for my father to be in the nursing home and then the funeral. My sister took over the duties that needed to be done. I am grateful for her being able to take care of everything. She is actually the baby of the family, but my brother wasn’t able to do it either. Thankfully I was able to go to the funeral myself. My oldest daughter and her family picked me up and my youngest daughter who almost missed it since she overslept, took me home.
All I do is read and sleep. I don’t do much else and writing is not even in my interests at this time still. I don’t know if I will ever write again or not. Right now there is absolutely no desire. Maybe when I am done mourning the loss of my dad things will change.
I am still waiting for the assisted living facility to open. It is now a year since I applied. Good thing I have my apartment still. This is crazy. A lot of people couldn’t wait and had to look elsewhere. I want this place since it has private rooms. They may be small, but the privacy is important. I don’t want to share with anyone.
I am trying to not worry about the aneurysm they found. They feel confident that it won’t be a problem in my lifetime, but 2-3% of people are affected. I want to be in the facility where there is a 24-hour nurse available.
Have a great week, everyone.
