Had a nice dinner at Olive Garden with Taylor, Jessica, and Reagan.
Reagan and I did not meet it off at first, but by the end of the night she would give me a kiss for some chocolate. She even gave me or let me give her a goodbye hug.
While going through some things of my mother's, I ran across this little piece of art containing a quote from President Wilford Woodruff, and I thought I would share. Enjoy!
I am just sharing a picture taken by my brother and his wife late in 2012. I have a special spot in my heart for Uncle Ralph and aunt Cy. Also, I was named after two of my mother's brothers, Ivon and Ralph. Enjoy!
My mother on Saturday, December 29th. The family got together to celebrate her 94 birthday, which was the day before.
My mother is is good spirits, but not eating much and mostly drinking some milk during the day. She is down to about 95 pounds. I am sorry to say, but I do believe I will be returning to Utah within a couple of months for her funeral. She may surprise me and live longer. In that case, I will see her in May when I visit Utah again.
