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 :-)

Oh my God

The Christmas smorgasbord I just realized I haven't written anything since November 23! But I can tell you I haven't been lazy but there has been so much going on that I haven't had the strength to write. I had meetings that week and I was supposed to be at a conference hotel for lunch that Friday but I was to tired I had to cancel it. So instead I baked safron buns (!) and made chocolate troufles with ginger. The ferry On December 1 it was Staffan's birthday (Hasse's oldest son) and I worked and worked at my job. Thursday I and Hasse were supposed to go to the theatre and see Come again Charlie, which was one of my birthday presents - thank you Pär and Brita. But Hasse wasn't feeling well so instead I asked Linnea, my bonus grand daughter if she wanted to go and she was very happy that I asked. We had a really good time and the play, which was a comedy, was funny but also with a message which made you laugh and then stop. It was about the si...

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.

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 ...
