Once George had finished opening his gifts, we all headed up to the hospital to visit Dad. He looked in real fine spirits, all things considered. I did my best to bring even a bigger smile to his face as George pulled a cracker with him. He also opened a smaller goody bag from us that also had some home-made goodies and more (cheese biscuits, fruit cake cookies, Christmas cake).
My brother Dave had called when we were at Dad's to wish us "Merry Christmas" and had arranged to call me on my cell phone if he couldn't get Dad on his. It made Dad's day to talk to Dave, Rita and the two kids.
After dropping George off, we headed back to Hertford, making it home before it got dark and the roads began to freeze over again. However, Dawn's day was still not done. She had a Christmas video call with Brady and talked to her sister Kelly, and her late father's partner, Shelia, and good friends Lee and Barbara, too. I, by the way, had crashed out on the couch with Tiny asleep on my shoulder.
