Thanksgiving

We spent Thanksgiving going back and forth like we usually do between Redmond and Aurora. We did stay in Redmond and spent the majority of our time there but I did get over to see my folks a couple times. Dad wasn't doing so well. He couldn't really communicate. He hasn't been able to communicate super well for about a month but this week he couldn't hardly talk. Mom said there were moments when something would come out but I don't think it was clear words when it would. Oh this is hard. I can't stand to watch him be so restricted and imprisoned by this body, but selfishly I enjoy being about to see him and get a hug from him when I'm down. Thanksgiving was great. Gary, Greg, and Jackie were all staying with the Bosshardts. We spent many late nights playing games and doing puzzles--that's a holiday tradition that I love.
