Mom and the Cats

 

time for a rice pudding break

Olivia feels safe from Melrose

on the back of Mom's chair

a few weeks ago

 

back to stitching

totally innocent

" I was not chasing Olivia off the couch"

 

again with the innocent look

as if he wasn't just trying to break through the window

to get to the birds...

today

sleeping on Mom's clothes

in her bedroom

 

a few weeks ago

we call this voluntary cat jail

when they sleep under the green chair

 

keeping Mom's chair warm

such a perfect fit

 

Thank you for your prayers and emails

we need all the support we can get right now

 

Mom is in great spirits

though more confused than usual...

I hate to leave her for a minute

but my sister is there for now

I'll go back in a few hours and stay overnight

 

We can get a sitter for her in the hospital

when we can't be there

but since I'm off work

most of the time

I prefer to be with her...

 

Mom has been through so much

she is a real trooper

and ready to take on this challenge

with our cheering her on

it's all about being positive

in her presence...

 

We found an old gratitude journal of Dad's the other day

enjoyed reading all his

entries about mowing the lawn

told Mom that's his quilting

 

so we will be starting our own journal

each day we make sure to enjoy the moments
