I have just been reall upset lately. I still have about 6 days til BJ come home and then we are going to have to go back up to PA. We were going to wait until after BJ's duty day, but now we're going to try and see if they will let BJ take leave. My grandfather died today. They are having a memorial service on Saturday and then he's going to be cremated and next Saturday we are going to scatter his ashes. I really wish that BJ was here right now, I could really use his comfort. But Dominic always makes me feel better. My mom called a few hours ago and told me the bad news. I sat down on the couch and I was crying, even though I was trying not to. Dominic stood up on the coffee table, grabbed ahold of the couch and put his hand on my leg and started patting me on my leg. I looked down at him and he just looked up at me with his big blue eyes and smiled. It was like he knew I was upset and wanted to make me feel better. It was hard to be too upset after that. I emailed BJ and told him the bad news and he called me from the ship after he read the email. He was upset and wanted to make sure I was ok and see how the rest of my family was dealing with it.
Dominic is doing good. He walking a lot more while holding onto things. And his balance has gotten so much better.
My dad is still in the hospital also. He doing physical therapy so that he can walk again. He's been in there for over a month now. He started pushing himself b/ he wanted to be out of the hospital by the time I went back up there so he could see Dominic. I can take Dominic to see him, but he's in Jefferson Hospital and I'm sure how to get there. Well he ended up hurting himself more and having to almost start all over again.
Well that is what's going on with me right now. I hope the next 6 days go by quickly so that BJ is here and he can put his arms around me and make me feel better.
