Today is such a special day for my family. It means more to my family than to most because none of our family would be here if it weren't for this day. My grandfather Gerald R. York, we called him Jerry, served our country at the end of WWII and in the Korean War. He married His 7th Grade Sweetheart Carolyn, My Granny, on this day 71 years ago. He passed away in 2011 and is loved and missed by so many. My family is celebrating, some of them I haven't seen in years. I did everything right this morning to get prepared for today's events, but it wasn't enough. my sever pain and other symptoms kept me home alone, Don't get me wrong I am so happy Clint and the kids could go, I just hate that I missed out. I know my family knows how much I love them and I know how much they love me.
I am grateful that I am now able to type on an amazing laptop, the keys fit my fingers just right though I do miss the auto-correct on my phone, I suppose I will just have to pay attention to what I am typing.
I painstakingly await July 29th, trying not to put too much stock into what they can or cannot do for me there. Still, I remain hopeful that a full recovery is within sight. I hope if my family is reading this, you will know how desperately I wanted to be there today, but I have learned when my body says no, I have to listen, at least until I am healed. After sleeping most of the day my family has just arrived home and I want to hear all about it! See you soon!
