Dear Ted - #71

Holy hell. It's almost been a year since I wrote to you. Ten months, actually!! WOW Just thought I would catch you up on a few things. February I took Harper to Disneyland. We had a great time. I love that kid. That was the last time I traveled. Crazy, I know. April, I had gastric bypass surgery. I decided the rest of my life should be as healthy as possible. However, I've been pretty weak since having it. I actually did ok until I had Covid in June. That nearly killed me. Not really, but I got so weak I couldn't walk for twenty feet without thinking I needed to sit down and relax. I'm still dealing with that. Rustie had her gallbladder out on Friday. On Monday, I will be picking up the three girls. They will be staying with me until Saturday. Then I'll be taking them to Russ and Nancy's - I think. On Saturday, KayeLynn and I are heading to Grand Junction. Randi and Iri moved to Delta, Colorado back in May. So, we are going to go see them. I think I am going to take some of your ashes and release them at the Colorado Monument. It just feels like a good place to leave part of you. Then in October, October 25 to be exact, I'm having my horrible knee replaced. It's been a long time coming. But, they kept telling me they wouldn't touch me because I was too fat. So- that was a big reason for the gastric bypass. I love that you said Hi through Eva. That really made me so happy. And I was completely shocked. You have no idea how much I love you!! And miss you #loveyoumissyou #wifeofted
