Mary or mom as I like to call her

Hello again

So this past week has been busy. I washed mom's hair every other day. And every other week I do her nails. Buff and polish her hands and feet. I am the only one who takes care of this and have been. Well, as long as I can remember.  This time I only put on clear nail polish. Yes I do this, I even have a 4 sided buffing pad, plus the nail files a variety of nail polishes etc......


Mom still has her sense of humour. She is very sarcastic. I get it, as I have a sarcastic sense of humour as well. Mary has been eating most of her dinner, and what I was able to bring as well. I am now out of everything. Only, hopefully for a few days.

Mom, Mary has been talking up a storm over the last week. We have had many great conversations. OK mom does not speak clearly, but I understand mostly. We have laughed and cried. When it warranted it.

I do not leave mom's side the entire time I am their. Mary is completely dependent on everyone for everything. So I am there for everything. Even helping out while she gets her pad changed. Mom wants me to stay and hold her hand.  I am OK with this as well.

Mom needs me to be there for her and I am.

Mary has not had many moments of aggression this past week. A few, only when she does not want to eat anymore and I try to get her too. Or when she is very tired and just wants to go to bed and have her nightly spa treatment.

The problem is that I have not been able to play music for her. The charger on the phone is broken. And I get worried when my phone is not working. I worry that something will happen to her and I won't be able to find out until I get their in the afternoon.  Not good.

Now I try to get mom to eat as fresh as possible. I only feed her exotic fruits. The reason is, the colour, taste and texture of them. This is why I place the phone on her chest. She not only hears it, but feels it as well.

All I do is to make her life better. Hence wanting to move to White Rock.

Anyways another day, I hope I can make it a few more days.

Other news but will wait.

GOD Bless and good night
