A picture of dad taken in October of 2004 on his other pride and joy,his tractor after doing some leaf cleanup.the lady of the house took it.Marlene wrote a verse that is at the top of it .It reads:If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane,we would walk right up to heaven and bring you home.I thought it very touching.The internment is on Monday at 11:00 in the morning at Bowmanville Cemetary.It will be a short ceremony ,with Reverend Lafave there saying a few words.We had 50 donations, 25 to our church Trinity United ,20 to ALS, some to Lakeridge Health Bowmanville, 1 to the Cancer Society,one to the Toronto Humane Society and one to the Canadian National Institute for the Blind.I counted the guestbook,223 people paid their respects so it goes to show dad was popular around here.Starting a week from Monday,i am going to church with mom ,not this Sunday too soon,next Sunday is Easter.Dad liked going to hear Reverend Lafave,missed it when he couldn't go and mom always brought a paper from the service ,so dad could keep up on what was going on.fritz has settled down for the night under the litle couch.
Fritz in Mom's chair,probably thinking about dad and missing him and waking up this morning in mom's bed.He kept mom company again last night,been doing good in that department.He had his toast and cereal,is now in the window,looking out.I took an Advil,slept until around 7 this morning.I had a dream during the night and dad was in perfect health,could walk and talk like he used to,I am sure he is fine shape now, planting flowers and cutting grass and being with Ruffles,my Grandma (dad's mom) who I lost in March of 1985 and all the other relatives.Mom is going to go out to the grocery store to get tomatos,i get my haircut this afternon.She has been wanting to take the truck out,the truck hasn't been driven since dad and i last did snow on December 4.My sister is talking to mom now, my Aunt(my Uncle Elwood's ) wife Maxine phoned and she is sending a donation to our church.Shannon ,my niece phoned to check on us.
