Wednesdays

Today Carolyn went down to help my mother, who's having some health problems. She spent the better part of the day with her picking her up, in the doctor's, office, keeping her company while she received some IV fluids, taking her home, and picking up a prescription for her.

She thought she'd be home to take my son to a 2:30 appointment with a local speech teacher, but she wasn't. I was at work scheduled to work open registration from 2-4, but went home to take Chris to his appointment, which went well.

As she explained to my son this morning, one of the main reasons we decided to settle here back in the mid-eighties was to be here to help my parents when they got older. I guess the time is here. I was with her on Monday, during my lunch hour. She wasn't feeling well and needed some support.
