Brynäs hockey, Helen's birthday

Henrik signing autographs, proud grandpa by his side.

On Friday Hasse went to Gävle to see our grandson, Henrik, compete in skills competition.
He has made it to Brynäs A-lag and will play the elite-series this season. Isn't that great only 19?
Anyway on Friday they presented the A-lag to the public in Läkerol arena and at the same time had this skills competition. They were divided into 2 teams and they had to perform different skills a hockeyplayer should have like puck-control, speedskating and more. Henrik's team actually won and Henrik won the penalty competition. Great job! Afterward they signed autographs.
So now we have two celebrities in the family that signs autographs :-) but in totally different fields of course.

Yesterday I went down to my Mom in Alby and joining us was Helen whose birthday it was. She turned ??, you should never reveal a lady's age, hihihi. Anyway Helen brought a cake which we ate while talking. I even sang to her - Happy birthday :-) And she got a birthday gift - we are going to Linköping December 4 to see and listen to a Christmas concert with Sissel, the Real Group and Orsa spelmän and we will stay overnight at a hotel (I had a bonusnight so...). She was very happy to get this. I'm sure it will be a great concert.

What else? Well, my Mom was really alert and sat up in her wheelchair when I came. She wasn't, of course, clear in the head but she looked so much better than these past weeks. So much that Helen and I promised to take her out to Hågelbyparken next Sunday.
I'm glad for every minute we get to spend with her now. It feels like overtime. Every time we have to explain that Dad is dead. She doesn't want to recognize that. I gave her the memoryalbum yesterday so she can look in it every time she has doubts.

Our friends Kitte and Janne has invited us to dinner tonight which we are very much looking forward to. We haven't seen them in a long time because when we left Gotland they came and they have been there since but is now back in town after a great holiday.

Tomorrow I'm going to my friend Anne in Norrtälje for treatment and lunch.
So much to look forward to and I hope it won't be a rough sea when we go on our cruise to Helsinki on Tuesday.

I will see when I get the time to write next time but be sure I will have some photos to post here then :-)

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 ...
