I'm so not a blogger.....

If I was actually getting paid to do this, I would have been fired by now. It's been a crazy summer at our house. Marty's dad, Clare, went in for surgery in June and ended up spending 10 or so weeks in the hospital. After several bouts with pneumonia, staff infection, blood clots in his lungs and legs, being paralyzed after surgery......he asked to go home to die. So on Thursday, September 2, 2010, Marty lost his dad.

It's been an interesting journey since his death. Two different faiths coming together to plan a funeral was interesting to say the least. It all worked out in the end, and it was a beautiful tribute to Clare. He had more friends in this world than I could have ever imagined. People from all walks of life came to his viewing, each with their own story to tell. I learned alot that night about my father-in-law. As gruff as he was, everybody loved that cowboy. He was the real deal. :)

If I ever locate my camera, I'll attach some pictures.......
