Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Cabernet in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO-HOO, what a ride!!"

Stressful Week

Monday my brother and sister and I moved mom into a nursing home because we had no one to take care of her while my brother and sister in-law worked.

Mom did not understand why she had to move into the home and thought she had done something wrong. We tried to tell her she had not done anything wrong and that we just needed someone to watch over her.

If you have never been to a Alzheimer ward it is probably the most depressing place you can go. This is a all women ward and it is like watching a bunch of children in old people bodies acting out. I told Angela that if I get like that to just put me out in the desert and let the coyote's get me.It would be better and faster then sitting in a warehouse in God’s waiting room for my time to come.  

 

Angela and mom.

With all that going on we did get to go out to eat at a Mexican restaurant,those are not all of Angela’s plates some are mine,she had more than she could handle on her plate.

ONE DAY CLOSER TO OUR DREAM
