I went to work today. I did OK. I still have a cold but I've been taking Dayquil and NightQuil. I was a little tired but I'll get to bed early tonight. I didn't get the grass cut again tonight. It will have to wait until the weekend.
It will be Memorial Day Weekend. Ted used to help me take the flowers to the cemeteries. Now I have to take flowers to his grave. He helped me plant flowers in my grandparent’s graves. One cemetery is in Philadelphia and is in a state of neglect. Ted would use the weed trimmer and grass cutters and dig around so I could plant. He would water the plants as I planted them. I don't know if one of my brothers will go with me or not. They go to my parent’s cemetery but not the grandparents. One cemetery has two sets of my great grandparents as well as great aunt and uncles. There may even be great grandparents but I haven't tracked them down yet.
I still have to get the rest of my flowers to plant here. There's a lot to do this weekend. I hope I get it all done.

Dear Karol,
I know this weekend will be very difficult for you. The memories just seem to flow when it's time to decorate the graves of our loved ones. You really have a lot of graves to decorate and each person holds such a special place in our hearts as we stand to honor them.
I'll be saying a very special little prayer for you because I know your emotions will be feeling very raw as you place the flowers on your dear husband's grave. Let your feelings happen just as you feel you'd like to express yourself. He cried with you at the end of his life and he will feel you crying with him now.
Please don't overdo. Your schedule is pretty busy. And, I know you're still not feeling real well.
May our loving God provide for you in the next few days. Ask for Him - He awaits us always
In friendship and caring, Ruth
