Happiness & Sadness

Another good day today!  We were able to "visit" our church in Lincolnton via DVD today and were surprised to learn that our good friend Sonny H. was hospitilized  @ Presbyterian in Charlotte.  At the time, we did not know the circumstances.

Dennis and Betsy dropped by after going to church @ Duke chapel.  We followed them to Raleigh to visit Roger and Genice.

 Lee was able to walk at all times WITHOUT the assistance of his rolator!  We had it in the car but he did not use it at all.  That was so good!!!!!!  He amazes me at the progress he continues to make.  We had a delicious lunch, however; between the main course and prior to having Genices's famous cheesecake, I gave Lee his I.V. medication.  In my excitement upon arriving at their beautiful home, I forgot to administer the medication that was due at that time.  It isn't often that one interrupts everyone's meal with an I.V. administered at the table!  (we may never get invited back!).

All in all, it was a good afternoon.  We celebrated Dennis's birthday (which is tomorrow) and I am sure I am forgiven for the poor timing of the I.V.  We were back at the condo by 4:00 and Lee watched the end of the Panther's game and part of another while I visited my friends here at the condo.  While I was outside in the courtyard, Lee walked and also visited some of our neighbors here.  It is good to watch his independence and his confidence returning.

When I checked my voice mail later, we were saddened to learn that our good friend Sonny H. had died the previous Thurs. or Friday and his funeral was today.  We will remember his dear wife Evy in our prayers tonight.  We are saddened that we could not be there for her.

So life goes on, doesn't it?  Some days are filled with joy and others with some sadness entwined.  Today was one of those days....................happiness with the visit with family members and sadness for losing a friend.
