Saturday

Mom was really tired today so we didn't get a chance to decorate.  We're hoping tomorrow she'll be better.  You can tell by looking at her she's losing more weight even though we try to get her to eat more.  She did eat quite well at Thanksgiving but then it's days before she eats that much again.  I'm going to make her favorite soup tomorrow (Greek Lemon) and see if that helps. 

Mike and I went to Mass tonight, celebrating the first day of Advent.  Although I love this season, it's bittersweet because I know it's mom's last...it breaks my heart...not just for me but especially for dad.  He tries to remain strong but you can see the pain in his eyes.  All we can do is turn everything over to God and trust in Him.

We took mom and dad up to Modesto to visit family.
Here they are with my Aunt Millie and Cousins Iley and Anne.
