So, I call my brother Larry and both of our wonderful bosses say, "GO!" and by Monday morning (thank you retired airline employee, Mom) I'm on a plane to Charlotte, NC where my sweet Bubby picks me up on his way up from Columbia, SC and we head on in to WV.
We arrive at Lisa's to see our very frail looking dad lying on the couch, but he gets up and we have a sweet mini-family reunion moment. I've seen Dad over recent months, and have noticed him losing weight and looking a little "older" - He is 83 after all! - but Larry hasn't seen him for awhile, so it was pretty tough on him. Lisa jumps right in to showing me the vitamin regimen she's got him on...HOLY COW at the pills and potions! I said, "There's no way I'm gonna remember all this stuff!" but she reassured me and gave me the list and schedule. (POST PICS)
So, we stayed there a couple days then hit the road to Missouri to pack up the little rent house. Stayed with Dad's friends, Larry and Sue, and the boys worked hard the next couple days while Sue and I managed Dad (resting for the most part) and errands.
Everything packed, Sunday October 10, South to TX!
