Soon.......

Only 1 day left, not counting today until we go. I know I shouldn't have such high expections because I risc getting dissapointed but I don't think anything could get me dissapointed now. If things aren't up to the standard or something else lacks it doesn't matter because I will still be having my very well deserved rest and H too of course. If someone needs it more than me it's him who has tackled his disease, since October 1 last year, that no one seems to know what it is. I did very early on, in December, suggested that it was something rheumatic but the doctors weren't on my side then but now they are and they have referred him to a rheumatic ward for evaluation and diagnose (that is when we come home).

My fair lady
I told you I was going to see the first public rehearsal of My fair lady and that I had been given one free ticket from SJ (our public railroad in Sweden) but what I didn't know was the wonderful party this was. When we arrived we walked into the theatre on the red carpet with torches around. Well inside we were given champagne and different dainty sandwiches and we were entertained by a singer and musicians.
The musical and the performers were great especially the first act. I love Helen Sjoholm who does the lady. Her voice is exeptional. Her Higgins is played by Tommy Korberg also an extremely gifted singer. And then there was Jan Malmsjo who had the role as Elizas father and how he did it. So wonderfully gifted.
In the interval we were served coffee, drinks and chocolate.
After the show when we went out each and everyone of us was given a flower, a carnation.
Thank you SJ for this wonderful evening.

O's birthday
Yesterday we went to celebrate O's birthday. He turned 76 and I had bought cakes and we had a lovely coffeetime with all the elder and cakes. They really seemed to appreciate it. We also sang for O and he looked very happy. In fact he looks better than in years. He has put on some weight and has a glimpse in his eyes now that hasn't been there for a long long time.

Anyone??

I wonder if anyone can see and read my blogg? I haven't had any comments in so long that's why I ask. Erik didn't win a Grammy last night but he had a blast and he and his fiancé looked just great! Another Swede, Ludwig Göransson, won 3 prices though. Congrats to him.

On popular demand

I have on popular demand decided to start writing again. I haven't had time to do this blog for a lot of reasons mostly lack of time. There is so much to do and so little time. Since I last wrote there have been a big change and it's my grandson. Yes, I'm a granny now to the most adorable boy, Eddie. He's now 19 months old and I love him to the moon and back. He's my joy and I'm so happy I can see him grow. I have really been there from the moment he was born (almost).  Always on the piano the first thing he do. His parents called me the morning of April 23 last year at 0415AM and said it was time. So I just rushed out of bed, drove to them and then drove them to the hospital. It was a long day before we they called and told us that Eddie was born in the evening. Only 1 1/2 day later I fetched them and drove the new little family home. Since they don't have a car I have driven them where they want to go. The first 6 months were quite difficult wi...

Sad day

Tonight Olle, my adoptive father that has been like my father almost all my life, died just before 9PM. It was very quick. I talked to the nurse at 6PM and everything was calm then. Just a bit over 2 hours later she called and said he's gotten worse. I asked how and she said his skin changed colour and that he could have 10 minutes or 10 hours left. I was just trying to get to my sister on the phone and ask her if we should go down when the phone rang again just 15 minutes afterwards and it was the nurse telling me that it was over. He went very peacefully and in his sleep. At the end he was given a lot of morphine so he wouldn't be in pain, which he wasn't. I called my sister but we both felt that we already had said our goodbyes and therefore didn't go down to say a last goodbye. He is probably up there somewhere looking down and sensing our feelings. We haven't been able to reach our mother yet and we probably won't tonight so I will tell her when I go there ...
