A night for television...

I got to Dad's a little later than usual. When I got there, he was all settled in bed, and watching television. Mom was there, and we sat and tried to chat...But, Dad would ask a question, without taking his eyes of the television. It was comical...He would ask a question, and then wouldn't listen to the answer, and then 30 seconds later, he would say "what?" It was like a little kid absorbed in a television show.

So needless to say, we didn't get much conversing done.:)

Looking forward to taking Mom to see this doctor tomorrow. She is a specialist and hopefully will be able to either find the cause of my Mom's problems and/or help fix her eye or at least give her hope. Wish us all luck.

Thank you all for your kind wishes about my little Tucker. It gets a little better every day. One of the things that that has helped is a poem that has been given or sent to me by several people. It really helps to ease the pain a bit, and gives me hope that I will see his sweet face again. Here is the poem for your enjoyment...


Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....
