A wet & rainy 4th!

Yesterday we got 2.5" of steady rain...enough to cancel the big Fourth of July parade in New Market and the fireworks that evening. Austin had planned to ride his horse in the parade along with Papa. I've not heard anything about a "rain date" for either event.
I spent the day indoors...played with Lukas while his mother slept, checked on Mom for a bit, and came home to watch a few reruns on TV. It was that kind of day. Looked like a rainforest out there...
I did talk to Lanny for an hour on Saturday. We compared notes about our dads and talked about ourselves. Staying in touch...
Doug has been spending a lot of time in Omaha visiting his brother Jay who is in ICU at University of Nebraska Medical Center. He has been there since Father's Day, and progress is slow. Please pray for Jay and the family.
I am trying to plan a visit to Brandon's family in Maryland. He won't be there this time, but I will still go to see Caitlynn, Sarah, Aaron, Nora, Keely, Clyde & Chief (who I've yet to meet!). I'm not sure who is going with me...maybe Mom, maybe Halle, maybe Kris.
I miss Dad still. Will this emptiness ever go away? How has Halle & Austin dealt with the loss of their daddy at such a young age? and I am so lonely for mine?
