Been enjoying life. It’s beautiful - not always easy but yet beautiful. I’ve been taking care of things at my home looking after S taking good care of myself, GAL (time on the water with friends, good food, live music, dancing). Looking forward to camping and friends and adventuring. Got more home reno goals to keep after as well.
In the meantime, supporting eldest D(single mom, lives out of state)with stuff from a distance (video calls, listening to her challenges with work and raising a young one, building connection) as well as in person (have been visiting them when I can, strengthening bonds, creating memories and sharing vision for the future).
Another golden night this week. Watched eldest S pitch a gem complete game (3 hits 5 strikeouts) low scoring win. I sat next to my dad for the whole game (anyone seen field of dreams?). Dad almost went to heaven himself a couple times this year with some close calls. He told my sister one morning in the ER a couple months ago, “This could be my day.” Any and every moment like this is precious. S beamed in post game photos with grampa and family. Dad was a baseball star pitcher way back when. He has not had the stamina nor energy to get to many games this season and when he did he only stayed an inning or two. Sometimes he and mom tried but just couldn’t get there.
Youngest D is away having a great time with friends. She called for a nice video chat last evening. I’m investing in therapy, got lots to process. And getting emotional work done outside of therapy too.
I actually started and stopped this update post several times this week and finally was able to crystallize a few thoughts this morning.
