Dear Santa
We do not remember days, we remember moments
Well, Santa, if I could have anything I like than this is it.
I would like to win the lottery. I tell you why, Santa. First, 10% is gone to charity. Then I would buy/build a green/healthy house. Set up to be mom friendly. When I say mom friendly, what I mean is wide hall ways, open concept. Put in a elevator
Make mom's bedroom very large. With a king size bed. So what ever way mom rolls she will never fall out. And then re-do her bathroom. And put in that bathtub, that has a door in it for seniors to easily get in and out of. With one of those lift's that put mom in and out of the tub, as well as one for the toilet.
And have the kitchen a open concept area, with room around the island. And bars around the walls, so mom can pull herself around. She does this at Oceanside. This way she can move herself around the ward.
And put in a great exercise room, and hire a physiotherapist, to get mom walking again. As well as a speech therapist, to get mom talking again. I know she can do both. And will do both.
Let mom pick out the furniture. because I am caught up between classical and modern. And have a backyard full of beautiful plants and tree's for the wildlife to live. A water fall or two and a stream.
Now for me, I really don't need much I would like a nice TV, a great stereo, to fill the house with beautiful music. And my geek stuff, you know, computer's and stuff.
Well a car/ SUV so I can take mom around and do things with her. To make sure she has a fantastic life. That she deserves, and has not had so far.
And trust me, I don't want anything expensive. Just a Honda Pilot, so it will last forever.
Well Santa, this is my dream.
But to start with Santa, To make this Christmas fantastic, full of presents for both mom and I. And treats, Dips, breads, cheese's and fruits etc... etc... So mom and I can hang out.
Trust me I don't get the time to just hang out with mom. I love doing what I do for her. But I would like to just hang out for a change. To maybe take her somewhere. Not to be busy,
Gift cards are what we need. For the grocery stores, The Bay, Sears, London Drugs etc....
It is only 9 days until Christmas and it is still looking very bleak for us. Mom does not deserve this.
The PGT Stephen Flynn, wrote me an email today. And in it he stated he had a professional relationship; with my mother. Well first a relationship is two ways. And one would have to speak with, see, and converse with the other person.
Stephen Flynn has never even met my mother. Never spoke to her ever. He has only spoke with the social worker, whose opinion about mom is obscure and without most of the truth about how mom is.
And Stephen tells me they have a relationship. Actually, it is I who has the relationship with the PGT, I am the one who fights with them for the rights of my mother. Who tells them what my mother's wishes are. Who actually cares about my mother's welfare.
And I am the only one who knows my mother's wants and needs. No one else can communicate with her. I know what is best for her. No one else does. It has been proven over and over again.
I know mom wants a great Christmas and so do I. It is about time we do. Mom's clothing keeps disappearing, and I have none left.
Mom is still not eating dinner. Maybe just a very small amount of it. I try to get mom to eat. Again it seems mom only likes it when I make her dinners.
I just want to make mom happy and give mom the things and holidays that she made for us, while growing up. The best holidays. Full of great food and presents and happy memories. I don't know how long my mother can hold on to her present memories or cognitive abilities. But I would really like to make them, well as precious as possible. To have her smile from ear to ear. To bring happiness to her for a change. Considering mom is locked up and committed at the moment and can't go anywhere.
I really don't know what I am trying to say here. I really do love my mother. She has done so much for me all my life. Mom has always been their for me, through all sickness's. And all my sports events.
I really am saying that I would appreciate all the help one can muster. I am a caregiver for my mother and this will never change.
So Please help make this a great Christmas.
My address and my other information is on the blog.
GOD Bless and good night
