We had our spring camporee....it was nice. I volunteered the pack to do a craft....so I wasn't with the boys when they were fishing...but they caught a fish each. I thought for sure Coby's was the smallest....but he missed it by a 10th of a pound or so. Oh well maybe next year. We got to spend time with our new friends the Matthews. It was nice to have great company around. The weekend was pretty uneventful....
Pa has been ill for some time....he's been in the hospital while they debate on whether to place a feeding tube or not. The family keeps looking for opinions...and switching doctors...but I know he's on borrowed time. He has been on antibiotics for so long that the thrush in his mouth prevents him from eating or taking meds without pain. Then he chokes when he does take something in his mouth. Its really hard to watch....We went camping with the pack an when we returned home...we went to the hospital on Sunday to see him...and let the kids say goodbye. He didn't look bad....just asleep. He had been asleep since Saturday. His fragile body had given up....he moaned when we would say his name but he had no strength to wake up. God called him home 3 days later.....I don't think I have ever been so relieved to see someone go. I will miss him tremendously but for 3 years I have watched the man he was deteriorate. He hadn't walked in years, his mind was lost, he didn't recognize any of us....his spark had faded. It was time....it was time for the pain and suffering to end. His service was nice....they had pictures up of the family and lots of pa when he was younger. Keith hadn't spoke to his family much since Nov....so it was a little awkward. He wouldn't even sit with his family at the front of the chapel. He wanted to sit with us. Mary Ann tried to talk to him at the burial but he wasn't interested. He's still sore about them taking that house away from him. He says she only feels that way because of Pa dying...that she will be herself real soon. RIP PA....we love you!!
The pack went to district derby. The boys took home the Most Spirited Pack award....we yelled our booty's off...LOL We made signs and wore our pack shirts to show our boys support. We had 2 place 2nd in their dens....Dylan as a Tiger and Jon Ross as a Wolf. SO proud of all the boys...they did an awesome job!!
