And that one day flows to this one, continuing to be a combination of fun, special times with bits of sadness spread throughout... Bitter sweet at times, but mostly sweet and such special memories made. Yesterday again I so enjoyed my girlfriends and the new baby, followed by special, precious time with my mom and dinner with her, my cousin and his wife. She's so enjoying my time here which makes it even more wonderful.
Today, I'm off to spin class and a walk with my other girlfriend here, then back to begin the birthday celebrating as my mom turns 87 today. Tonight we'll have dinner with one of my aunts, my cousin & her DH. It just worked out, and for the best, to see family spread out over the time here. But that's really better for my mom as I can see what work it is for her to keep up with one conversation, so multiple going on around here can be very confusing.
It's been great to see though how social she still is here, going out with my aunts every Monday (where I'll join them tomorrow for lunch and then head to the airport as they head to play cards for the afternoon), grocery shopping every Fri, cards, bingo, and mass throughout the week plus happy hour, concerts and time with her girlfriends here. It's very cute to see as she has 2 special GFs here and the 3 of them sit side by side on the same coach in the piano lounge before and after meals. It's when these social activities being to wane, that I'll move her closer to me -- at least that's the tentative plan for now... As all plans have to be when dealing with Alzheimer's.
So, off now to spin I go, but first will start the day praying for serenity. I'm so very grateful for each of fantastic you, my family and IRL friends - here and back home, wonderful memories being made here in Cincy, this special time with my mom, and having the health & wealth to live this life I love!
