Day #35 > FRIDAY 27th NOVEMBER I speak with Lia early – 7.15am-ish – as she’s driving back to Elounda having swapped shifts with Rena looking after her Mum, who’s been in hospital. Something going on at the moment with looking after our Mums eh! We discuss all & like the shining light she is she offers […]
Day #34 > THURSDAY 26th NOVEMBER Thanksgiving Day Mum tired first thing, so went back to bed. I nipped out to go shopping to get some nice treats for D&G next door as we’re having Thanksgiving lunch with them, & when I returned Mum was back up & helping Bob make cookies. Without her collar on. Lia […]
Day #33 > WEDNESDAY 25th NOVEMBER Greeted by Mum in the kitchen around 9.00am telling me she woke & was uneasy about being here. The house or Bob I ask? Both she says. ‘How much money do I have?’ She says, meaning how much does she have in the bank. ‘Oh, you’ll need to speak with Bob about […]
Day #32 > TUESDAY 24th NOVEMBER Down around 9.00am – have coffee – Mum having a shower so I join Bob in the den where he’s juggling TV & tablet; he tries to enter into conversation but I’m polite yet don’t volunteer much to both ensure I don’t bring any negativity into the room & I’m feeling […]
Day #31 > MONDAY 23rd NOVEMBER Up early as Bob has spine tests. Alas there’s a mix-up with timings & it turns out the appointment has been postponed till next Tuesday, which means that as Bob needed me to drive him home from his tests we’re all free to enjoy today as we wish. Now, interestingly, Mum […]
Day #30 > SUNDAY 22nd NOVEMBER I’m up early as I leave for Church at 8.00am. Mum’s still in bed, alas, as she had agreed to join me this week, but I’ll keep trying as I feel strongly she should visit & get some prayer from others there, as she has zero fellowship during her daily life. Bob […]
Day #29 > SATURDAY 21st NOVEMBER My first day back & first sight of the house in daylight. Wow, the den really is filthy – what an eye-opener. Add to that Mum comes in without her neck collar on. Sigh. I find it & help Mum pop it on. I ask Bob about Hoovering – did […]
Day 28 > FRIDAY 20th NOVEMBER Lovely night’s sleep for both of us & we breakfasted heartily on our final day in Charleston; Mum had pancakes loaded with bacon & maple syrup & I had the healthy granola. As the sun was still shining – oh my we’d been blessed with the weather – we […]
Day 27 > THURSDAY 19th NOVEMBER Mum & I sharing a motel room in Charleston. A new experience for both of us, but the first night passed without incident, although around 6.00am she was chattering whilst dreaming, but it didn’t amount to anything & she woke & arose around 8.30am. She was on good form […]
Day 26 > WEDNESDAY 18th NOVEMBER I’m taking Mum away today to Charleston – two nights but three full days & I’ve scored a little motel right in the heart of the historic district – smashing! We have coffee & Mum says she’s packing. I get all ready to take Abel for a walk & […]
