Having the Talk

Life has a way of keeping you on your toes

that's not a bad thing however

as without the twists and turns

the ups and downs

I think that life would be pretty boring

with our parents getting older

and some of them already gone

life also has a way of bringing us full circle

to those who have been with me for awhile

know that the first of the year started with a bang

when Mom was in the hospital for almost a month

after suffering a abdominal aortic aneurysm which ruptured

before this happened and even though Dad had been gone

for 11 years ~ I did not know Mom's wishes

I know which funeral home ~ where she wants to be buried

but we talked of nothing else

did she want extreme measures ~ stuff like that

not a pleasant conversation

especially since here we are kicking off the holidays

but she is heading into the hospital for a procedure this morning

so Saturday I went over for a visit with a purpose in mind

I am happy to say that the talk went well

and my brother was also there by chance

so that was a bonus

it's great to have those open lines of communications

with those that raised us

times have changed ~ we have all grown up now

haven't we!

Busy week-end was had here

supported Small Business Saturday with some shopping

made minestone soup on Sunday

along with some Whoopie pies

with peanut butter filling ~ yum!

Hope you all had a fabulous week-end

and that the week ahead brings you joy and laughter.
