I got new phone today which I guess is a birthday present to myself. Also switched to T-Mobile for all the good stuff they are doing.

Yesterday was the celebration of the life of my dad where we remembered and honored him as a man who loved and served. It’s amazing the outpouring of love that people have for him and for our family. It was a bittersweet day as we greeted family, friends and others who came to pay their respects. It was a good day however to be in the company of so many well wishers who shared their love and concern. He has the heart of a servant and loved his God, his family and those who he called his friends. Needless to say it was a long day but it was a good one. I miss him more and more as the days go on.

In all the sadness and reality of my dad’s passing I have put my birthday on the back burner. Today is the last day of my 40’s. Tomorrow, August 29th I turn 50. Believe me this is hard to believe. Forty-nine has come and gone quickly it seems, at least 2019 has. Somehow tomorrow I will try to celebrate being another year older, wiser and questionably more mature. My forties have been an adventure to say the least.

One month ago, July 27th, my dad and I exchanged texts to meet at Wendy’s for lunch after church the next day August 28th. We never made that lunch date because he went into the hospital for over two weeks and eventually to return home to live his last days on Earth. Life comes at you too damn fast

I look hot, don’t I. Wired for sleep.

I’m here at a local hospital for my sleep study. Hope to find out what is going on with my lack of sleep at night. I’m really really for a full night’s rest or working on making it happen.
