Yesterday evening, around 5:50, maybe quarter to 6, my dad called me while he was driving.

He asked me how I was doing.  I said I was okay.  And he wanted to thank me again for spending Father's day with him on Sunday.  We had gone to see Shrek 3 and to lunch.  As a present I had given him a dozen and a half of home made chocolate chip cookies, a

Oh Kendra, I am so sorry for your loss. I'm also sorry you cannot make it out to CA for the funeral.

Be well Sweetie. {{hugs}}

Thanks Babe. I'm coping... I have been so physically separated from extended family for so long, that it's a hard reality to come to grips with. Most of the time I'm fine, but when I think about it... That's when it hurts!

Oh, dear. I know how much you love him.

You can, as always, borrow my Gramma. She's closer, and no replacement, but it is her birthday today. (((K)))

Nothing I can say will help, but my heart is with you. I wish you could travel, too. I know how upset you were the last time you couldn't go, and I understand so much that this new hurt is adding insult to injury to your feelings.

Happy Birthday, Matti's Gandma! How is she doping, by the way?

I really need to take another trip back to California. The one short trip for Nanna and Poppa's memorial service was NOT enough. When lifting off in the airplane to leave San Fransisco last summer made me cry... I realised that I need to try to get out west more often. But it's going to be more dificult, now that I'm running out of family to visit there; Grandparents are all gone, and 2 of my cousins and their families have moved away.

Maybe one of these days I can take a trip out there with Dad. That might be cool.
