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.

Dear Krit,
i've had a nice couple of minutes checking out your other blogs. my dad is going through his own recovery, albeit not as difficult as yours. (prostate cancer and hypertension do not a happy daddy make.)
sending you and your family strength and good wishes from western nc - although it seems like you're a tightly-knit group already, which is wonderful to see.
i loved the halloween pictures from your other blog, too. i had a great halloween, too - it was my two-year-old daughter's first real excursion, so i know what you mean about the kids screaming the whole way. what a blast!
best wishes, and thanks for your visit.
I am so glad that I was able to come in town and see everyone. It was really great to see Kim and her mom. I did not get to spend as much time as I would have liked to but I have to work. Anyways, I too am very proud of Mom and her coming out of her shell and doing all the things that she is doing. I love their banter too, it is so cute. I think Dad must tell her that he loves her like a million times an hour. It really is so sweet.
