Oh, thanks. In all other respects, it was a good trip. My sister and her husband came to Austin for the wedding, as did my husband and daughter. D hung out with my friend and me the day of the wedding, running errands, helping out, and even playing the piano for us. And it was good to spend a little time with the caregivers - such nice women! I also had lunch with LF. I’m liking her more now. She is so alert - she asks questions about Dad’s meds and treatment. She also organized a birthday party for Dad and my daughter - Dad turns 89 soon and D just turned 28. She took me out to lunch, too. I know she’s a little sad that Dad has retreated somewhat. It’s nice having her in the room, because it’s hard to converse with Dad, but she likes to chat.
