WHAT
IS A GRANDPARENT?

(Taken
from papers written by a class of 8-year-olds)

Grandparents
are a lady and a man who have no little children of their own. They
like other people’s.

A
grandfather is a man, & a grandmother is a lady!\

Grandparents
don’t have to do anything except be there when we come to see them
They are old they shouldn’t play hard or run. It is good if they
drive us to the shops and give us money.

When
they take us for walks, they slow down past things like pretty leaves
and caterpillars.

They show us and talk to us about the colors of the flowers
and also why we shouldn’t step on ‘cracks.’

They
don’t say, ‘Hurry up.’

Usually grandmothers are fat but not too fat to tie your
shoes.

They wear glasses and funny underwear.

Grandparents
don’t have to be smart.

They have to answer questions like ‘Why isn’t God married?’
and ‘How come dogs chase cats?’

When
they read to us, they don’t skip. They don’t mind if we ask for the
same story over again.

Everybody
should try to have a grandmother, especially if you don’t have
television because they are the only grownups who like to spend time
with us.

They
know we should have a snack time before bed time, and they say prayers with
us and kiss us even when we’ve acted bad.

GRANDPA
IS THE SMARTEST MAN ON EARTH! HE TEACHES ME GOOD THINGS, BUT I DON’T
GET TO SEE HIM ENOUGH TO GET AS SMART AS HIM!

It’s funny when they bend over; you
hear gas leaks, and they blame the dog.

Send
this to other grandparents, almost grandparents, or heck, send it to everyone.
It will make their day.

OK, well we have all been lowered now that Lord and Lady Broecker have been with the queen. Take a peek at this pic and bow down. We hope they might “grace” us at our next dinner. But many of us may not be worthy.

I’m so jealous !!!!

But he is my big brother, at least for now. J

Final update…

Dad made it out of surgery (1.5 hours) with a glowing report from the surgeon. The ball fit right into the socket and he should be better than new in no time.

He will spend another couple of days in the hospital and then off to rehab. Why, oh why is this song stuck in my head?

Thanks for all your prayers and support,

Update…

They will schedule tomorrows surgeries about 5am tomorrow morning. Mom will try and get an e-mail out. If not, she’ll leave me a message and I’ll send one out around 7:30 am.

Dad is still in traction and doesn’t like it. He’s actually getting a little grumpy 🙂 — I have to add a caveat, Dad grumpy is me on a good day.

The chair they gave Mom lies all the way back (I tried it) so she’s actually getting some sleep except for all the hospital coming and going.

More tomorrow,
O’Bryan

P.S. I’ll also be posting to FB if you would rather read stuff there.

More information. IF they had identified the broken hip in Cancun, there would be much less damage and problem. Oh well, we have to deal with what we have now. Because the blood supply was not reaching the hip socket for 7 days, he is going to have to have a partial hip replacement. That should last 5 years. It is much less invasive that a total hip replacement. They will have him up walking the day after surgery. Now to the surgery—he needs to have the blood thinner out of his system. That should be 72 hours but they want to do this surgery as soon as possible (like yesterday). We will either be an “add on” today (there are 10 ahead of us) or tomorrow. So, just in case, he cannot have food.
