CROSSING TOGETHER-5

Today has been a good day. Mom got up early--for her--so we went to WalMart for a few things which she needed, including some special clothing for her. The bill was more than she wanted but she had to have these things.

She's in good spirits right now. She hasn't gone to sleep so quickly as in other days. I think she has leveled off. Now she wishes she could drive. She says she can drive just like before, but that isn't true. She really wishes for her independence but it's long gone.
She eats better around 10am than earlier; and she eats better in mid-afternoon than later. Right now as I am typing this she is in the kitchen eating her dinner.

I am more positive about her every day. Actually this has become more of a boon to me living here in this rich neighborhood than it is really necessary for me to be here. I think she was depressed. I think my value in being here is to have someone here for her to talk to and be with.

I really like it here.

But tomorrow will probably be different.
