Last evening, Dennis Bucky Haugen died, surrounded by his wife and family. (4 beautiful girls). Don't have any details on the funeral yet, but one little detail of interest is that it is the same date as his father died....forty-some years ago. The girls had taken up residence at his side earlier in the week, taking turns getting up to give him meds various times during the night (which became every hour in the last couple of days). So many people sent food, cards, thoughts and prayers, it was truly a love filled week. Thank you to all those who answered my request for prayers for them....they were definitely felt. What a great way to go!
As for me, after two late nights of hockey and days of cleaning and dealing with my dryer problems, I didn't even get dressed yesterday. I did still do some cleaning....got those floors taken care of...but not much else....but with a little grocery shopping today....I can honestly say I am ready for card club on Tuesday night. I requested no funeral on Tuesday early last week, and I guess Buck was listening....or he just wanted to go on the 26th (like his dad) all along.
The Coon Rapids Girls pulled out an overtime win to take 3rd place in the State. I'm sure they were all thrilled with that. I'm sure tired too! The intensity of those games is really high. Bill called and asked if I wanted to go to the girls game at 4 p.m.....but I declined as I was still not dressed.....didn't even get the mail yet.
Today I am well rested and will head for church soon, and then do my shopping for groceries and probably watch the Oscars this evening. Nothing exciting at all! Love and prayers to all of you, m
