The weekend get-away at my family's cabins was nice. D18 and s13 were with me. D18 is leaving on Saturday for a college in Boston, so it was my family's (brother, sister, their spouses and my Mom and Dad)time to learn more about what she is studying and to say goodbyes.
The weather did not cooperate though - it rained and was windy for the whole weekend. So it was card playing, and watching movies (my sister/BiL's cabin has a 3D movie player) - cool.
One scare with my Father. He just got a report that his heart is only working at 20% of what it should. He had trouble sleeping, and on Saturday night he became flushed, coughing constantly, and nauseous. It was interesting to watch my siblings and I try and figure out how best to help him - we each knew best of what Dad needed.
He woke up on Sunday after a good night's sleep, and everything was fine. I am starting to face the reality that with d18 moving out-of-state, that another family member (d19 also moved away) is peeled away since our separation.
