So, I am back from sunny CA – and sunny it was – 90 degrees in mid October! Definitely NOT the weather I had left in Germany.
The week was nice, despite the circumstances. The flights were easy enough, I was able to share a room with my cousins - which provided us with some time to catch up, and I felt like I made a contribution of support somehow. I knew that my family was amazing and loving and capable – but it was really inspiring to see everyone in action as we all worked together to put together my Grandmother’s funeral and get my Grandfather situated for the biggest transition of his life. He’s perfectly capable of taking care of himself – he’s an impressive man for his 91 years by any measure. However, he hasn’t lived without my grandmother in more than 60 years – and that is something that he will have to learn to navigate. I can’t begin to imagine.
Today, I am working on my suitcase full of laundry because tomorrow, Hubbz and I head for Paris! We have no specific plan. I have been there a few times, but Hubbz hasn’t been there since he was a small child. It’s fun to be able to share something neat with someone you love. So croissants and museums – here we come!!
