Changes

This past weekend, we moved my mom to an independent/elderly living apartment. The move went well. She seems happy. I think I was more traumatized than she was. Traumatized might not be the right word; maybe concerned is the better word. She was a champ, though - telling me it was time for the move and all was would be good. There is still much to be done to wrap up loose ends, but the hard part is over.

Yesterday I took Jesse and her friend, Kat, to the airport to fly to Hawaii.  They will be staying with my cousin. I'm sure it will all be another grand adventure. She made a little trip to Wisconsin and Chicago over the Fourth of July. Ahh, to be young and single...

Maybe you will start to have more peace of mind about your mom's safety. I hope so.

I do hope for the peace of mind. I know it is the right decision.

CTT,
So far, so good. Your words are an encouragement.

Ah, good for your mom. Gene's mom did the best she could at her assisted living. I think she was more relaxed as she didn't have to worry about locking up, leaving the stove on, etc. She just felt more at ease. She tried all the games and activities as she couldn't just sit and watch TV. It was good for her. Hope your mom is the same. It helped us all, her the most.

Jo,
I think Mom is already relaxing. She says she wants to make the best of being in her new home.
