Monday April 26, 2010 was my mother's birthday. So, on Saturday, all of us in Texas went to mom's grave side and wished her a happy birthday! Told her we would never forget her! And spent a few minutes with her! Then we came home to Dad's and we brought in dinner from Boston Market (one of my favs) and had a nice dinner where Dad updated us on his progress, what he has been feeling, and that Barbara are still committed to each other and planning on getting married June 19th. It was a very tender time for Dad and his three children and son-in-law Alan. And it was just us! Thanks Barbara for understanding that we needed this time with our Mom to be just us!
Dad also told us that both families (his and Barbara's) are experiencing great trials right now and they realize that it is because they have wanted and are planning on a Temple marriage! And he apologized, but quite frankly, I personally am so thankful that they do not want to be married any other way or any other place!
After the visit and the dinner than Barbara came and joined us and it was very nice and seemed normal to have her be part of the family gathering!
