Gone, but happy I'm home
I spent the last 5 days with my sister Sara and her family. I tried to take care of the small stuff while she and Steve prepared for the funeral arrangements. The whole time spent up north was bittersweet. Addie and Allison were more than happy to have Aunt Stacy sleep over. They are two beautiful girls that are completely day and night in personalities! It was wonderful to spend time with family. Meet cousins I have only known through facebook. It was a joy to see uncles and aunts that as I child I adored, and now as an adult my love and respect for them has only grown. This was the sweetness to visiting and going up north, but of course the bitterness of the death of Calvin made our hearts heavy.
I truly adore my husband. He dropped me off at my sisters, then picked me up after the funeral. He worked while I was up north with my family. Dan somehow seems to find a balance in our life that we need. It is simple put this way, if Dan and I aren't working, then Dan and I aren't working! Meaning one of us has to hold down the fort, earn a living until the other one has returned.
Dan has worked so hard this year. Between the drama of life, my health issues, and randomness of work, somehow we are getting by. I may not be able to buy the new pair of shoes I need and I will have to sew Dan's holey socks instead of buying him new ones, but that is how it is right now. I am so happy that Dan managed to work during all of the current events that are weighing us down lately. He tries so hard. He is so optimistic. I hope one day he will see the fruit of his labor.
I came home to Gary upset at me that I smelled like Sara's dogs. I had to shower before Gary would let me pet him. lol. Gilbert is and will remain a loving fur ball of happiness.
Dan and Gilbert are a wonderful pair. Gilbert is such a happy cat. Whenever Dan has been stressed out or frustrated, here comes Gilbert! That fat cat seems to know how to distract Dan long enough to bring out a smile. I deeply appreciate that the little smile. That little smile reminds me why I endure all the hardships in life. That little smile for me represents love, hope, and happiness. If it takes a smelly, fat, beast of a cat to bring it out of my husband, then all the more reason to love the cat.
Enough rambling for now. I need to start my day, get to catching up on work that I've missed. My cats are already lying down for their afternoon naps. I better stop slacking and get to work.
