Update on me

16 May 2013

To All:

Some of you may remember that my Mom landed in the hospital on 30 March 2013. After a short stay she was transferred to a rehab facility. While at that facility she suffered a significant stroke that eventually took her life on 15 April. Dad and I were doing very well preparing for her Memorial Service on 11 May until ....

My Dad fell and broke his hip on 04 May. He had emergency surgery to place 3 screws in his hip. He is now in rehab for some time, maybe as much as 6 weeks. The good news is that we were able to get him to Mom's memorial service and celebration of her life on 11 May. He really enjoyed the events. He met with the surgeon today for his 1st post-op appointment. The wound is healing well, and he is cleared to do therapy that incorporated some weight bearing on that leg. But the saga continues ...

On 08 May Dad's brother Ted died (he lived in southern California). This was not unexpected, but still a shock to a man that has just lost his wife of 56 years, and just broke his hip. To complicate things I was designated as the executor and trustee of Uncle Ted's estate (a "black box" to me at this point). Uncle Ted's memorial is on 18 May.

This all to say that I am not sure when I will get my cards out this round. Certainly before September, I hope.

Regards,
Darwin

Darwin,

So sorry to hear about all your sad news. My thoughts are with you and your dad. And as much as I'm sure we all like receiving your cards, I think we all understand if they are on a low priority list in the coming year. Just take care of what needs to be taken care of. We'll be here when you get back.

Darwin,

Sorry to hear about all this. You have a lot, a lot coming your way. Really, don't worry about the cards, they are not important. Take care!

My sincere condolances, darwin. In the relative importance of things I think that we all understand that family comes far, far higher in the list than some wisps of paper.

I thought I sit out this round, but can't. Please put me down for 20.

And my condolences to you Darwin. That is sad news.

To All:

Thank you for you thoughts, prayers, and condolences. This is a very stressful time for me, and it is comforting to know that I have friends around the world that care. At this time I am living one day at a time. Thank you for your understanding.

Regards,
Darwin

George, I've decided to print some more cards (actually, my usual number of cards). Please change my 10 into 20. :smile:
