Dear Family,
Hope you are all well. Things are good here in Snowflake. Aunt Sharon, mom and dad and I drove down to the Valley Saturday to go to Uncle Leo's funeral. It was very nice, and wonderful to see all of our old family. It's been a long time since we used to get together at Grandma Johnson's.
Dad did pretty good. The more tired he gets, the less his memory works, so as the day went on he began to have trouble. He couldn't remember if he had already said hello to people, but mostly he did very well. When people just talk to him for a minute I don't know if they even realize he is struggling. He can carry on a simple conversation just fine.
By the time we got home, dad was worn out and pretty disoriented. He didn't know whose house it was or what he was doing there. Mom commented yesterday that they have just done too much traveling lately.
We visited yesterday evening and celebrated Mom's birthday, but they went to bed early because dad was so tired. I think mom had a good birthday, though. She must have answered at least 10 birthday phone calls just in the time we were there. Thanks so much to all of you for helping her have a happy day!
We love you all, and hope you have a great week. Thanks for you prayers and thoughts.
Love, Aunt Gale
