Just an update on Mom. Those of you (3) who read my stuff will know that Mom had a little setback recently. She was then taken to Richards Bay by my brother so that she can recuperate in warmer climates, and where my sister in law can look after her 24/7. Also, this way we can be sure she takes her meds when she's supposed to, and, more importantly, she will be sure to get her 3 meals a day. The problem with the elderly, especially when they don't feel well is that making a meal becomes a schlep, and so they either just skip it, or grab a slice of bread, or toast. At least now the family know that she's getting the right food / nutrition.
The proof is in the pudding, and as I speak to Mom daily, I can hear in her voice that she's much improved. She's even got her sense of humour back!
To my brother, my favourite sister in law, and my niece, I have no other way of showing my gratitude to you other than doing so in what I consider to be a public place. What you are doing for Mom, I know you do out of love and respect, but it's a lot more than most families do for each other today. I know how proud Dad would have been at this moment, and if we are to believe what we are taught, he's up there right now smiling and bragging "That's MY son"!!!!
Thanx Boet, you are very special!
