I see the light. It's cheerful and it beckons me to hurry to it. I have finished writing Dad's book. It took about 13 months and should be printed and ready to hand over in about 3 weeks. I feel relieved to be almost done but worried it won't be soon enough. Dad is failing and I don't know if I will be able to give this to him while he can still be excited. I can't work any faster, so it is in God's hands. I know that if I was given enough time I would be rewriting and changing things forever and so I worry that there will be too many errors, but right now, the important thing is to just get it in print. I have one more read through and then adding the photos I have collected. I am putting a lot of pictures in the book to make it the true memoir it is meant to be. Something to be passed down for generations. I have found a quick turn around printer and I am on the home stretch. It's a good feeling.
Husband is still in limbo about health issues but is hanging in there. We are being positive and hoping for the best. I'm having him help format the book, keeping him busy!! Seriously, he keeps himself pretty busy already but I think it is good to involve hiim. I'm trying to take care of myself as much as time allows. I've been walking every morning and attending yoga once a week. I snuck in a pedicure last weekend and even went off to a silly movie today by myself. I had been having a little battle with insomnia and anxiety and I thought I better remember I'm human too. Women are so awful at that.
I hope you are all having a wonderful summer, enjoying the longer days and sunshine. Thanks for being here!
