12 - The Visitors

Had a couple of busy days with family from out of state visiting. They came down to move my wife’s grandmother from her assisted living room into the skilled nursing facility of the retirement community I work at. She’s about to turn 86 and old age seems to be catching up. As she says herself she’s ready to go to The Lord and she really seems at Peace with that, which is great. That sure makes me hope to get that old some day, and be able to look back on a long, happy life.

Having moved from a 2 bed/ 1 bath 1100 sq/ft (105 m2) home to the new huge 3,100 sq/ft (290 m2) 5 bed/3ba home we have figured out that the drawback of a big home is that the entire family from out of state (and their pets) can stay in your house! So tonight we were busy washing/vacuuming etc to get everything ready for my sister and her husbands arrival in 2 days. My sister and I are pretty close and it will be great to see her in person and give her a big fat hug, especially since I haven’t seen her since the whole Leukemia thing started. Talking on the phone just isn’t the same as in person, so I’m sure we’ll have a few great days.
I emailed my doctor yesterday to see if he knows/can find out anything about my sisters blood test, but I have a feeling he might be on paternity leave so I might not find out until after she’s gone. Ah well, it is what it is, off to unload the dishwasher!
