Tuesday was dads birthday and I think he had a nice day. He was supposed to have a doctors appointment, but that was postponed to Friday so he had the whole day to himself (well with mom :)) Angie went over there early and prepped a really nice meal for us all! Josh didn't get off work until later than usual so we weren't able to go down until about 6. The six of us hung out for a bit and then Allison came over with Dylan (her boyfriends son). Johnny came over at about 8:30. He works late so he was just in time for leftovers :) Mom and dads landlord Glenn (who is so good to dad) came over with his wife and maybe 3 year old adorable daughter! She had made dad a darling card and came in singing happy birthday with big smiles and hugs! Dad love it! They were only there for about 15 mins or so but it was a nice visit. We had a really nice dinner and then another one of mom and dads friends Darius came over with his little daughter. Dylan and Darius's daughter were running all over the place and the apartment got small very quickly, but it was fun and dad loves having the kids around! Dad asked to go outside for a bit though because I think he gets overwhelmed easily and it was really hot in there! :) Anyhoo...when he came back in we sang happy birthday and I had made him a chocolate cake so that was fun. Josh and I left shortly after cake cause it was getting late. All and all thought it was a nice evening and I think dad had fun. I know he definitely misses his nights at the Roanoke but I think he enjoys just having everyone around. Angie and I had talked about having a birthday party for him but didn't get our acts together in time so maybe we can do something later in the year :/
Today I was planning on cooking all day for them and taking them a bunch of meals tonight, however as I was leaving costco I got a text from mom saying that Dad's appointment had been cancelled and if I wanted to come over he would love it. So I headed straight to their house as half of my costco load was for them! Dad was in the shower when I got there and I was in a bad mood so mom instructed me to sit down have some water and eat something... it helped :) I made dad a sandwich and we sat on the balcony at had lunch! He really wanted to go on a walk but I had on flip flops and it was already 2:30 but the time we were done with lunch and I couldn't stay past three. I felt bad but I just wasn't prepared today! I am glad I got to spend a little time with him though and I will go down there tomorrow to deliver the crock pot meal I had going at home for them!
Dad was telling me that hadn't slept well again last night because he had watched a show on Muhamed Ali last night and it really scared him seeing how poorly Muhamed looked :( I told him thats why they doctors want him to go to therapy so he can talk with other people that are going through this same thing. I guess his group meets every first tuesday of the month so he missed it because of his birthday but will start next month, and the family group meets the last monday of the month so I am eager to go with mom to that. I think it will be a huge help and for both of them. Nancy #2 got there right at 3 and dad said "why is she here so early?" I said its 3:00. He said no its only 2... I looked at his watch and the battery had died :( I felt bad because he obviously thought he had more time with me.... but like I said I'll go down tomorrow for a bit and I took his watch so I'll get him a new battery :)
Angie went with him on Wednesday to lunch with his friends Tim Firnstal and Mick McHugh... I'll let her talk about that but it sounded like a great time!!!
That's all for now, but lots of pictures to share!!
I was trying to get the needle in the shot cause it was pretty but I don't know how to work my camera :/
