Home Sweet Home

[bazooka111]

Oh how sweet it is to be home! Update … it’s been a few days now … Monday and Tuesday were 15-18 hours of sleep. I actually had to wake her up to toilet, eat and drink .. back to bed she would go. Every stretch of rest is offering a new batch of energy. I told her this week, “it’s just you and me babe” —- we are living in our PJ’s, with a Christmas theme! Each time she woke up yesterday, I had a little gift for her to open, with soft Christmas music playing —- she would smile so BIG.

Another great moment on Monday —- our internet went down …. Oh my goodness, how we rely on that so much. So what did we do … I pulled out VHS Tapes of old family videos! What a hit for the couple of hours she was awake! We laughed and cried together, and sipped on hot chocolate!

Oh and one more thing … nutrient packed smoothies are our friends this week! Protein greens fruits … just what the doctor ordered in the way of gaining energy!

Up to face another wintery day, as I watch the sunrise —- deep gratitude sets in, and I am so thankful to have all of you as my go to panel of friends. I think some day it would be wonderful to meet face to face and share some tea! Or maybe at that point Long Island iced tea! 😉 😉 ❤️

Sweet friend - one day at a time. The days are hard, but we have to find the slivers of joy in them. I try to remind myself and my Momma that we’ve been blessed with a life full of love. Have we had hard days, absolutely yes, but making the choice to embrace the memories of joy —- makes all the difference. Mind set. Mental health. So very important—- here for you.

HiI am at the same stage asleep 80% of the day, waking for drinks and eats, but without the smiles and laughs,

Colin can no longer express anything, does not communicate and is very un responsive when I chat to him.

Gratefull for the times we have had, but these times I am finding very hard to deal with.

Love and hugs to you both again Helen xxx

I can relate to what you are saying as my wife is in the same state. It is very difficult and I really don't know how the final chapters of this novel will go.
