April 1 - April 3 Today I joined my sister in a vigil at my grandfather's bedside via Skype. It started very early and lasted most of the day. In the evening, once Aunty Kari went home, Morgan came over and joined Olivia & I on a walk with all three dogs - Cricket, Sophie & Paula. It was good to get some fresh air. The next two days were spent in vigil as well. I am so thankful for Skype. It has kept my family close through this whole year. It's allowed me to see my husband during the deployment, my family to see baby Olivia and here it allowed me to be with my grandfather on his last days. I was online with the family at the hospital when he died on Tuesday afternoon. It's been a devastating time. I will miss him so much. I'm so grateful that Olivia & I went to Connecticut when we had the opportunity.
April 4th Today was spent doing chores because...Adam was scheduled to return home tomorrow! Lots to do! Veronica came over in the afternoon to watch Olivia so that I could do some cleaning inside & outside without interruption. What an emotional rollercoaster these past weeks have been.
April 5th Today was the day! We got up early and began our last spate of chores. We went to the PFD office again, to Holm Town Nursery for some plants, got the car washed and then met Morgan at Barnes & Noble. Morgan watched Olivia while I ran in Wal-Mart & the liquor store. Morgan came over and we watched some television, baked some cupcakes and passed the time. In the evening Olivia & I both primped and then went out to the AHA. What a wonderful evening!! I can't believe we have Adam home!! Pictures to come!
