Today Emily went to church; she has returned attending most of the same worship times as she and Gene did before he went into the hospital. During the time Gene was in the hospital and Emily was with him every day, she attended church very little. It is good for her to have the support of her faith community.
One of the couples that Emily and Gene connected with right away was Ted and Phyllis Bates. Ted died near the same time as Gene, and Phyllis and Mom have made a good connection. Today after church, they went to the cemetery together. The two graves are not in the same section, but they are just a short car ride away from one another. It's good to have someone who is going through the same experiences to talk with and sometimes just to be with. After the visit to the cemetery, they went for lunch, and ended up at the Cracker Barrel in East Ridge. Emily enjoyed a lunch of catfish. This evening Gene's cousin Mia, brought over a potato, corn chowder and Alan, Lynn, and Liga joined them for a lovely dinner and visit.
Emily still doesn't have a working computer. Perhaps tomorrow the geeks at our little local computer store will be able to figure out a fix - we'll post an update when the computer is fixed.
