The boys and I spent the evening with my parents. My mom is not doing well and this was likely her last 4th. We watched the fireworks from the front yard and talked about all the years we pulled the boys in their wagon down to the big field were the whole town gathers to watch the display. There was a somber mood this year. Impending death and D. The whole family is grieving. It's just a sad time. I wish my H would show us some grace and just let us be for awhile.
