Day #38 > MONDAY 30th NOVEMBER Mum greets me in the kitchen – sans collar natch – & she seems a little down, but we make a coffee together & she seems back to Mum by the time we walk Abel. We walk & talk, discussing Bob & Mum drops the big ‘I’ve had enough Tim, I […]
Day #37 > SUNDAY 29th NOVEMBER MUM COMES TO KL CHURCH! Whoop Whoop Hallelujah! Mum was up & ready early & we leave at 8.00am & chat non-stop for the 1.5 hour journey. Church was great & she embraced it, especially considering how different it is to Trinity. We chatted & prayed with others after the service & […]
Day #36 > SATURDAY 28th NOVEMBER Up around 9.00am & Mum doesn’t have her collar. Sigh. She has breakfast & I have coffee. She seems a little forgetful this morning, but comfortable in herself. I remind her of her collar – in earshot of Bob of course – & he replies immediately it’s by her sink in the […]
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 […]
