The Cavalry

My parents are coming up tomorrow to stay for at least a week . . . . in part because they are distressed about my back (which is improving slowly) and want to help.

But also so that they can then drive to Ohio.

For my dad's sister's funeral.

My aunt F died on Friday, six weeks after entering hospice (around the time that her husband died), years after the onset of dementia. And while it has long been expected, it is sad.

But, despite all the circumstances (and maybe even because of them), we are very happy that my parents are coming.
