One Day Closer to...

Dad and Mom are so cute together. Last night Mom was upset over a situation at the Recovery Place and her loving concern made me very proud. She addressed the issue with the people that she needed to and they in turn promised to make corrections. I love to see Mom in this role, she is flourishing at it. Because she has always felt most comfortable at home, she didn’t get out all that often and seemed to me a little shy, but now the current circumstances have dictated otherwise and she is a confident women able to make things happen. Anyway, Mom is of course a great caregiver but Dad in turn gives her constant praise and together it is so sweet. Their banter is so amusing.

This weekend our sister-in-law is coming and her visit is exactly what we need. She’s super close with Mom and Dad and I know her just being here will lift the spirits of us all. Out of all our visits the MN, the most relaxed place for them (from my standpoint) was with her. She is both a good friend and a daughter to them and they love her dearly. I think we’ll have a great time and we’ll get Dad out of his day-to-day environment.

Mom is still looking into housing options so while nothing has really developed in that department, gathering of info is still progress. I’m praying they find a program that meets their needs. We want them close and we want them to be in a safe place.

Christmas

Dad's friend joined us for Christmas.
It was great having him.

We took lots of other pictures,
they are posted on my family blog.

Dad seemed to be really happy, to make things even better, this was his first night away from his recovery center.
