@deekredpeppers That must be both a combination of laughter, and bittersweet remembrances! So many years of friendship and support right there with you. Yes, indeed, a true gift to you all! Take pictures, recall fondly, write it all down in your journal, perhaps sing silly songs all together into a recording device, to be replayed later for you and your spouse when the rocky and tough times come up [you know they will, sooner or later].

Thanks, Ginger. We did take pictures, even though Jenny didn't want to be in them. What a good time we had - and you are right - bittersweet. Tears were shed, but laughter took center stage.
Today there were 5 friends from our RV park in the living room when our Hospice social worker arrived. She was overjoyed to see what support we have here. I have a friend taking the night watch tonight, so I will take my sleeping pill and hopefully get a good night's rest. Jenny says she will sleep all night so our friend will think I'm making mountains out of molehills! We'll see how it goes...
