Her days are numbered. No she's not failing, yes she's doing wonderful. She's running out of CASH. DAMNIT - She has to pay taxes, there were house repairs and that shortened 4 years to 2 1/2 years. I could get a reverse mortgage but I need to be sure there is plenty of money if she has to pitch in for the very best place. I also feel like while she is doing so well she can adjust to an assisted living situation. So I will spend the next year getting the house ready for sale. We are doing her landscaping ourselves to save $ - We are going to sell many of the contents to make it easier. I am going to stay on until the house is sold.
Mom is gonna transition to an assisted living facility with memory care. I am going to spend as much time with her as I possibly can. I am kind of lost as to what I will do when this phase is over. I could try to work at the facility - or just drive there several times a week to visit. Hopefully be able to take her out often.
I am sorry Mom -I really wish I could have done better for you. I wish I could have moved in here but hubby didn't want to and I do understand that. I probably wouldn't have wanted to move in with his Mom either. I know you would be miserable at my house - at least at a facility there will be activities and lots of people around. I know you are going to be happy - I know you are going to enjoy it and there will be no regrets at all. It is all going to work out the way it is supposed to.
I love you so much Mom and I hope when you go to heaven you approve of what I did and what I tried to do for you. You are my very best friend from the day I was born and forever. I'm going to put this computer away and take you for a nice walk because that always makes both of us so happy.
