Luke and Nana should be on their way from North Carolina, Jr of course is in New York, wife is somewhere in Eastern Europe...and my Mom just called to say she's not well enough to travel.
I had thought that, after her recent episode, that she was really being optimistic in thinking she could come and visit this week. But she wanted to come so we could go see her sister in Virginia Beach. Apparently though there is still "something" showing up with her heart. She doesn't know what that something is. But she hasn't been feeling well.
It's okay that she's not coming to take care of Luke. Luke will be okay at home with Nana and Jr. It's a combination of the responsible, yet physically incapable and the irresponsible, yet physically capable. Actually Nana is doing well enough now that she can take care of Luke's meals, etc. The only thing that remains an issue is pooping the dog, and he doesn't ask her to take him out.
I'll mention a prayer for your Mom. Where in Eastern Europe is your wife travelling?
