In the Valley

Now in the Ottawa Valley, visiting my parents for a few days. The trip up was frustrating – our Seattle flight got canceled last minute due to weather. Wednesday evening we rebooked to fly out of Vancouver early Thursday morning, then woke up at 2:30 am to drive there.

The rest of the trip was uneventful. We spent a few hours in the evening with my parents and planned some outings with my cousins.

Dad and I found a moment to discuss Mom and the care she needs. He admitted there are days he's ready to move her to assisted living; she's on the waiting list for three such homes. I strongly support this. Mom isn't safe alone; she's unstable, making it too easy for her to fall.

So sorry to hear your Mom is deteriorating to where Assisted Living and that transition will be necessary and waiting lists are required. It is for the best of coarse, but still a hard decision to make for anyone. Safe Travels... may 2024 hold much Promise...
