Full Circle...

It's been a while since I posted, but in the interim, the bathroom was finished...and perhaps I may be able to show a lovely before and after shot just so you get the full feeling. I got my teeth cleaned today, see? *grin* And most importantly, my mother and I were able to pick my grandfather up today. For those of you who are frequent readers, my grandfather passed away last year. Like his wife, he too donated his body to science through an anatomical gift program at the medical school. It's been nearly a year, and we were informed via letter that his cremains were ready for pickup. Unlike the last time, where I picked up my grandmother and gave her a tour of the law school, we just went and picked him up and took him home to my mother's house. The box is surprisingly heavy. Not sure exactly what the plan is now that we have both of them, but in the meantime, they're hanging out with Mom. They've both done their year at med school. And come sometime in the late spring, the college has a memorial service at a local cemetery for all those families who gave. It was a very nice service in which all the medical students attend who studied the bodies during 1st year classes. They don't know anyone by name, but they do seem to sincerely appreciate the time they spend with our family members.
