Family Reunion

We are off to Edmonton this weekend for a family reunion on my dad's side.  Dad is still in the hospital and will not be there.  I have mixed emotions about this.  This is the first time in 23 years we have all been together and everyone will be there except him.  Being in the hospital made it an easy decision because he just isn't well enough to be there but I am relieved for my mom.  I know dad would love to see everyone, especially the kids, but it would be stressful to have him there.

Mom had a meeting with the doctors last week for an update on where dad is at health wise.  His doctor at the hospital said he is not ready to be discharged.  As far as I know no timeline for discharge for discussed, just that there will have to be another meeting to figure out what happens when he is ready for discharge.  He can't go home and this will be hard for him.

What to pray for... I have really been struggling with my depression and have not been in a very good place these last few weeks.  Pray also for peace of mind for my dad, especially over this weekend.

What I am grateful for... my friends.
