Having my Mum settled into her new comfortable home with all her familiar things around her, ... the comfy green lazyboy chair and pictures of the family hanging on the walls. Thank you for all your kind words, in wishing her well ~ means a lot to me.
Daughter came over to stay the night, always great to have a catch up with her.
As we were driving along, we saw all these little ducks and their babies walking across the road. We stopped the car and managed to get them off the road and back towards the water where they would be safe.
I remind myself of how important it is to count my blessings today.
Hope you have a wonderful week
Hugs
Carolyn
Hi Carolyn
ReplyDeleteOh poor you - it's an awful time when your darling mother needs more hands on care. I'm sure you've found her a lovely place and she will gradually settle in and make it home. "Things" and people are the key - it's so important that she is happy.
Thinking of you
sending gentle warm hugs to both you and your mum

ReplyDeleteHello Carolyn,
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear your mom is all nestled in!
Oh, what sweet ducklings. One time on my way to the store I saw a mama duck and her babies trying to hop up on the curb. There was a storm drain right there and I was worried the babies would fall in. Some passerbys guided them to safety just like you and your love daughter did :)
Have a beautiful week!
xoxo
Always count your blessings darling...every day...i am glad your mom is settled.....love from me...xxx...
ReplyDeleteI am glad that you have found somewhere nice for your mother - it must be a weight off your mind to see her settled.

Hi,Carolyn.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear that your mother have settled in a comfortable place with her family's help!! I believe your mom will recover soon! I have been living with my mother in law92. She is fine for her age though sometimes she needs family's help.She still likes sewing in her room.

Glad to hear your mom is settling in....and such joy those baby ducks are. Hope you are seeing a lovely Spring so far my friend. xoxo HUGS
ReplyDeleteDearest Carolyn,
ReplyDeleteSo glad your Mum got settled into her new place. Being surrounded by familiar things is so important. You have acted as a loving and caring daughter and deep down she knows that. It is tough as she very well knows this is the final stage...
Therefore the visit of your daughter was a welcome Band-Aid on the emotional pain.
Sweet for rescuing those ducklings; that lets us see your big heart!
Hugs to you,
Mariette

ReplyDeleteDearest Carolyn,
ReplyDeleteOh, it sure must have been the hard time for you! So glad to hear that you could check these facilities in advance and looked for the best for your mother. I'm sure that the chair and the precious family picture will comfort her♡♡♡
I've been through step by step for my father starting with the day-care-center(haha, that is how we call these facility). After we lost our mother, my father started suffering from dementia. My late single brother and I looked ater him since then. He is in one of the old-people's care center close to my house now. I've been there today and he looked better after a bit of out of shape condition, haha. Sure you must have the feeling of grateful, I remember the same experience when we know there are so many waiting list.
Lovely to hear and see the pictures of the baby ducks(^_^)v
Hope you will have the beautiful spring like you showed us the sweet cherry blossoms in your former post.
Sending you lots of love and hugs from Japan, xoxo Miyako*

hope you mum is settling in well x what cute ducklings!
ReplyDeleteyou are so right--small blessings should not slip by us--prayers for your mom <3
ReplyDeleteCarolyn, I am so glad you saved the duck family from what could have been a horrible fate! It can be so confusing sometimes when one is so very,very short. We have 8 baby chicks that were orphaned. I have to dash outside at least a dozen times a day to push their little fuzzy bottoms in the right direction as they travel all over the farm.
ReplyDeleteHello Carolyn
ReplyDeleteThank you for your sweet comment today. I am so glad you have your Mother settled in her new home as I know what a worry it is to make sure they are comfortable. The little baby ducks are adorable! Take care and have a great week.

I'm so glad your mom is in her new home now, as it is so important for older people to be around familiar surroundings. I noticed this with my mom and aunt too.
