Hi,
My mum is at home too but this week we have had a major development. She was interviewed (with me and dad) and got accepted for sheltered home just 1.5miles from my house. This has been hard to accept - young parents going into 'old' folks' accommodation but I know deep down that it is the safest option for mum. Dad still works and it is going to be such a comfort to know that someone will be there to ensure she is okay when dad is out early in the morning. We viewed the house today and mum is so excited - it's as if she has a new life -and in a way she has - new neighbours, new surroundings and a new social life. I am both gutted (that it has to happen) but chuffed to bits she will be nearer me and have extra support if she needs it.
Not sure how relevant my note is but I just wanted to share my latest news with you. Mum will be in her new home in time for her birthday (23 dec) and for Christmas and I can't wait...
I have cried for days over it all -joy and sadness.
You all take care.
