Well my Thanksgiving dinner is in limbo.
Below is a letter from our dear friend Joyce.
We have been going to her house over the last twenty years.
Always have a great time there and fellowship.
I knew that her parents were having problems .
Many health issues.
She send us a letter stating that it will be cancelled due to this.
So,not sure what Mike and I are doing .
But we will weather this out.
Very sad,going to missed this.
Enclosed is the email that I got from her.
I know many of you going through with some of your elders.
These things happen.
Look like Mike and I will be spending our holiday at the movies.
Unless,somebody will take over the host.
I will light a candle for them.
Met them a few times.
Both of them are so wonderful.
But,they are getting along in age.
Going to missed them.
Dear Friends
You may already know that my father's health has taken a turn for the worse and that the doctors at the long term care facility of their retirement community called today and now think that he may not live through this weekend. As a result, Bob and I are leaving on Wednesday morning (Nov 19) to go down to Baltimore.
I cannot be sure how long we will be there, but under the circumstances I think I must cancel Thanksgiving Dinner at my home - even if I am here. Having Thanksgiving with close close friends is something I truly love and look forward to every year. I will miss this this year.
I hate to change plans at this late date, but wanted to let you know the situation so you can make other plans for Thanksgiving.
I will contact you again as soon as I get back and will bring you up to date at that time.
Dad is 96 1/2 years old, and would be the first to day that he's had a good life. I know we all have to go through this with those we love, and then face it ourselves, but it's not easy. As my mother has been saying (fairly vehemently) for the last 3-4 years, "this getting old is for the birds!".
Will write again soon,
Love, Joyce
). Just an idea!
