Thank you Barbara for your understanding. I’m starting to get back into routines and schedules but really found this hard throughout most of February. There are still days I have trouble and find myself shedding a few tears. But mostly I think it’s still something I haven’t fully grasped. It’s still hard to believe she’s passed. I’m so sorry for your loss too.

Hugs,

Hi Vicki,

Thank you. The skirt is probably the most difficult in how it’s put together but once you understand, it’s easy and fun! It’s different from any other project I’ve designed.

I am so sorry; my eyes filled with tears at your loss. I still feel the loss of my mother after 5 years so I know, I know. I, too, picked up my hook again after the loss of my mother and it has brought me so much comfort. May your heart be comforted.

Thank you so much! After seeing the place in broad daylight my dad had a better sense of it and thought it was nice. My mom seems content and that’s a real plus. She seems to be accepting things well. We’ll visit this weekend just so she has company. I neglected to ask my dad if my brother is visiting her at this facility like they did while she was in the hospital. I just want her to have company and not feel alienated. Dad said she was doing better and actually told him to be careful driving home.

Thank you so much for the well wishes - it means a lot!

I’m glad that your Mom is in a good place and hopefully she’ll soon feel more like herself again.

When things like this happen, it’s so hard not to be as close by as you’d prefer to be. I’m glad you’re within driving distance.

Wishing the best to you and your family,
Lauralee

Hi Lauralee, my mom was released from the hospital late yesterday afternoon and was taken to a reheab facility. By the time my dad got her registered and drove home he was totally exhausted. He didn’t care for the looks of the place and felt it was a “dive.” He was concerned at having to leave her there and I in turn was worried about her too. We ended up calling the hospital to get the name of the place because my dad couldn’t even remember the name. Then we looked it up online using Google world to get a sense of the place. Hubby read that it’s a well appointed facility and came with high marks - that eased our minds considerably. We phoned my dad to tell him so he could sleep better. Today though will tell the tale. If he feels it’s not the right place, we plan to drive up. If he wants to bring her home then I’ll be there to help.

Thank you so much for asking - our lives have been understandably topsy turvy through all this for the past week.
