Wishing everyone a happy, healthy and prosperous Year of the Horse! I know my Mom is smiling down at us and celebrating with her parents, Wingo and Irene.

I called Dad this afternoon to see how he was doing. He was still sleeping even though he had an early night last night. He took the train home which is better than taking a cab.So again I asked the question, why don't you stay at Por Por's? Everything is set up there, new toiletries, pjs, extra clothes even his drugs!
And what does he say? Before going to bed, he likes looking at my mom's picture......he is still grieving and probably doesn't know how to express his feelings. When you think about it, he has all these things going against him: 1. Guys aren't good at expressing themselves especially when in pain 2. His generation dictates bearing all and any hurt and toughing it out 3. Cannot burden children 4. Still have regrets about letting my mom smoke Overall, he seems to be ok and keeping himself busy. But every once in awhile he surprises me with his sentimentality. So it's begun, I'm now in renovation hell. Cannot tell you how many times I've been to Home Depot and Lowes! So far, I've bought 3 different toilets and 2 bathroom vanity sets. Every time I go, I find something that I like more so have to return what I've already bought and buy the new one. Then I have to pick out wall paint, wall tiles and floor tiles and make sure it all goes together. So much pressure. Oh well, I guess we'll see when it's all done. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
