Christmas is here
No, I can not acknowledge Christmas before Thanksgiving is over, unlike most of the retail outlets of this country these days.
We picked out our tree in October, and cut it down December 3rd, and put it up Dec 4th.

1927-2011
Sadly, I write that my Dad passed away Early Friday morning [Nov 18]. I flew to Boston Tuesday night when it was clear the end was near. As a family, we had a great 4 days with him in October when he was still highly functional. See my facebook profile, that was taken the last day.
On Wednesday, all 5 kids were there and he was pretty cognitive and we all had or chances to speak. By Thursday, he was mostly out of it and clearly struggling. He passed a 4am with my Mom at his side.
His last words, with most of us there, were to his beloved hospice nurse, who asked how he was. He responded, ok...with faith. Touching and fitting.
