Assisted Living Cincinnati
QUESTION: I had a very lovely Friday as I went to visit with my mom and dad over
night. I went to see my aunt and another lady in the assisted living and
brought them each a boquet of flowers. (I love to do that sort of thing).
They were both in such good spirits. Then dad took mom and I out for a
Friday night fish dinner. Friday fish frys in Wisconsin always has been and
will be a "big deal". It is a throw back from when the Catholic Religion
(which I was not) could not eat meat on Friday. Consequently so many places
offered a Friday night fish fry. The fish around here is lake perch which
is so excellent when cooked properly. It usually includes a potatoe of
choice, rye bread and cold slaw. Do any others from other states have this
custom?
The next day Ed and Kris came with our van to pick up an old refrigerator my
dad had to replace the broken one we have in our garage for cold drinks and
extra food for Holidays etc. Dad and I made a blueberry pancake breastfast
for all 5 of us.... emmmm good!! Then I did mom's hair and make up the way I
will do it for the wedding on Saturday. She looked like a $million at
almost 87 yrs. old. Then she and I went to buy outside flowers and stopped
at a local discount store for some makeup. Got back, painted her toenails
and ate lunch and got back by 4:00. What a nice time I had and the weather
was perfect.
Ed and I right now are in deep sorrow over our daughter. I don't want to go
into detail but she has broken our hearts very deeply and I don't know how
she will ever repair things she has said and done to both of us. This is
kind of why I have not been around much. I have been working through some
emotional pain; pain I don't anybody before, in my entire life has caused me
and right after her wedding. We love her but do not like her right now and
has deeply disappointed us with things she has said and done. I just needed
to get that out. Your children can be your greatest joy and your deepest
sorrow. Just how do you live with the sorrow? It is easier when it is not
your children doing/saying something to hurt you. It seems perhaps we have
treated her too well and did not teach her consequences. She may have to
learn the hardest way. I just don't know. Thanks for listening.
ANSWER: Sounds like the weekend was a good tonic.
