Let's play catch! (up)

My writing here is sketchy... I realize that. And I doubt that any of my readers, or the few there were, are with me any more to see this. But, I thought I should at least attempt to get caught up on my life here.

August 9, 2007, just as promised in my last post (March 20, 2007) Scott and I stood before a minister overlooking the beautiful Moraine Lake in Alberta, Canada, and professed, once again, our love for each other. We were pronounced "husbands" by Rev. David D. of Calgary, AB, Canada.

We returned from Canada excited and flush with joy on our wedding... only to discover we'd left the camera in the rental car. Thankfully, Rev. David was able to retrieve it for us, and has now sent it along to us, so we have our pictures!

When time permits, I'll post the pictures we have. And maybe even the text of our wedding ceremony. And, in fact, I'll post a bit more about the wedding trip itself.

For now, I just want to catch up on my life.

Unfortunately, also on our return, I had to make the decision that I've been dreading. We had to move Mom in to a nursing home. Dad also had to leave their home at the Assisted Living facility, as the nursing home is 20 miles awy, and I couldn't have Dad driving that far. It took us a week to make arrangements, a week to pack, and a third week to fully move everything out of their old apartment.

And now, it seems, a lot of that effort will have been wasted. Mom stopped eating after moving in to the Nursing home. And, as of the day before yesterday, is now taking no nutrition or hydration. It is only a matter of days before she dies, I'm sure. It is so hard to write that. Even though I know it.

So, THAT brings you all up on my life. There's really nothing to report, because the last year has been involved in seeing to the day to day needs of my parents, my job, and my family, and there's been no energy left for creativity.

Heavens knows this post certainly doesn't qualify as creative writing.
