Take the good when it hits you!
Mom has gone back to her motel for the night, and she’ll leave for the airport in the morning. All the socialization she could take ;-). I could have used another day, but I’ll go see them in Florida later in the year.
I will NOT complain! For too many years, I have been “out of sight and out of mind,” and I think it has been from “denial:” My mom will live forever, so I don’t have to pay attention to what goes on in her life.
If he is finally becoming aware of me, it’s most likely because he is becoming aware of his own fallibility. It doesn’t matter: He is making the efforts, and that “all counts on 20!”
I hope Mom had a good visit. How is Dad? Is he adjusting to his new living conditions? It’s good that Mom doesn’t have to worry about him so much when she is elsewhere. :o])
