Precious little ones! Waiting to say goodbye to the butterflies

 The beauty and mystery about these butterflies is that we never know when they will appear and for how long they will stay. This time when I was visiting Mom they graced us with their presence several times.

They would appear out of the blue and Mom would announce their presence for me. They would fly around us but in total their visit would only last but for a few short minutes.

I cannot see them but I can sure imagine them flying close to us. I have named the main butterfly Josefine.  She is white with brown wings. There is another butterfly and she is a very pale yellow in colour.

Now I wait to say goodbye to them as I prepare to leave Mom.

Such a pleasant person: At home with Mom's dentist

This was a very friendly and interesting visit from Mom’s dentist. She arrived on time and was so very good with Mom.

She was very talkative and friendly. I was at ease with her throughout the visit. I just wish that other dentists were like her.

Such precious memories! Mom in her kitchen

It is such a joy to watch Mom in her kitchen. This is the new way of doing things and I am just so delighted to be part of it.

Mom decides what task she wants to take on for the day. She rises out of her chair and along with her walker she strides to her kitchen with me following. She tells me what she is going to do.

I fetch all of the necessary implements, bowls, cutting board, and then I wait patiently for the next step. Mom asks me to bring her high chair to her and I do so, positioning it in front of the stove.

Before this, however, I lay out her implements and fetch whatever else she needs. I chop onions and other things as she wants and wash up as we go along.

Finally it is to the stove and I stand guard as Mom cooks and then she asks me to taste. I do so with great enthusiasm and finally she is done. I complete washing up and Mom retreats to her chair to rest and relax.

I replace her high chair and all is now done.

The balancing act: Mom's new care giver

 

I have to say that since her mishap, Mom has been relatively fortunate to have reasonably good care givers. No one is perfect and these ladies continue to do to the best of their abilities. Except for Michelle, the care givers have been acceptable.

Her new care giver is quiet, pleasant, and helps when she is called upon. She offers to help whenever she observes that Mom needs help.

It may not be easy for these care givers to be on the job all day but it is also not easy for Mom who continually needs to ensure that they stay on track.

What a brave boy! Visiting Christian

 This is such a very difficult time for me personally, and why? Despite Christian’s cheerful demeanour, it is so difficult for me to deal with his ordeal. Poor Christian has been battling his illness for over 2 years now.

He never complains and takes everything like a man. Char is so very supportive to him and Mom and I spend the next hour or so chatting with them both. We ask Moya to wait outside with Ramlall.

Wonderful times: Going grocery shopping with Mom and Moya

 

This is probably one of the highlights whenever I visit Mom. Yes, going grocery shopping with Mom and Moya.

We get into Ramlall’s car, which is hot because there is no air conditioner, and off we go. Then, soon enough we are at the supermarket.

Mom gets into her wheelchair and Ramlall goes off to get the shopping cart. Then I stand behind the wheelchair and Moya guides us into the supermarket.

For the next hour we traverse the aisles with Mom directing traffic.  She knows exactly what she wants and Moya goes off to fetch the desired items.

Ramlall helps and before you know it our shopping trip is over. Mom pays and then we leave the supermarket.

We buy lunch on the way home and then comes the hardest part of this outing. Mom changes into her home clothes and proceeds to her chair where she sits waiting for lunch. Moya unpacks the goods and Ramlall leaves while she is doing this. Then, finally our day of shopping is done.

Such beautiful and delicate ones: The beautiful butterflies

 

On my most recent trip to visit Mom, we did not have the pleasure of enjoying our beautiful butterflies in Mom’s garden.

We named a white butterfly Josefine and each time we sat in Mom’s garden Mom kept watching for Josefine to appear. Once or twice Josefine did fly by and Mom was so very excited to see her.

I always enjoy these special moments when Josefine comes by and Mom describes her visit. She flies back and forth in front of us and then she is gone.
