Probably most are asleep by now and I thought I would just post a hello and wish everyone a great week. Right now for myself I am on call. My mother seemingly called me and it not doing so well so I guess it's back to that nightly on call thing again. I am not sure if anyone has gone through something like this but it's a task to say the least I arrived home at 4 and then went over and was prepared to take her in and this is where I find that you just bend with it.
So I am on call and thinking of something to write. Gosh I look forward to the new year to say the least. As this is really been a year of tending to many family needs. However in no manner is this a complaint. I guess it's just what it is and how things are at times.
Where will we be when we are 70 something?
Hopefully in a small, cozy cottage by the sea...
ReplyDeleteIn a village by a sea with lots of other people around.
ReplyDeleteActually that part is not really on my mind at the moment...but yeah why not.
ReplyDeleteHello too ... pray we're both still alive and still be friends with each other ... even beyond 70 ... gosh I love to wait and see that day!
ReplyDeleteI think you have to rest now Jack. You need the energy and don't push yourself too much ... my tight embrace to to your mom and please give my kisses to her. Good night for now. Blessings and Hugs. maritess*
GG yeah I always wished to have a place in Latin America I kid you not. But here is where I maybe should not have posted
ReplyDeletethis as I am trying factor out a situation at hand right now. But yeah...
lol I know when to rest Tess, but will see how it goes this evening. Well who knows what will become at that time as it's so far off.
ReplyDelete... I know ... I know ... I liked that "lol" attitude in you Jack! You seems to be in control of almost anything ... what a man! :)
ReplyDelete"I am not sure if anyone has gone through something like this but it's a task"
ReplyDelete- Imagine those who migrate to other countries leaving their parents and those that matter, behind and then getting news they are in the hospital and knowing they cant drop everything and get to being by their side.
"Where will we be when we are 70 something? "
- I am hoping I dont live that long.
No actually it does hit ya and it's not as easy but you work thought it...just an ordinary guy.
ReplyDeleteI hope I am healthy at age 70 and still living on my own and then die before I ever get to the point that I would have to go into a nursing home....that would really suck.
ReplyDeleteRashmi I know as I have lived away and well it is what it is - folks can be very stubborn at times. For myself I really hope I have good enough genes to live
ReplyDeleteand aspire to some of the goals I still wish to carry out. Yeah.
I would never live within a nursing home....but who knows where we shall be.
ReplyDeleteWhere I would like to be when I'm 70 is called Isla Mujeres, a 5 mile long island just off the coast of Cancun. It's a beautiful place to retire.
ReplyDelete... just an ordinary guy! Nothing Hill ... yeah ... [laughs]
ReplyDeleteMost people I know who excell says that!
Oh there is a place down there that............we shall see then. I love the tropics.
ReplyDeleteWas not playing it, just writing in my own manner.
ReplyDeleteYeah I know and I love the manner you write ... and I know when someone is playing :)
ReplyDeleteLiterally I never play it or anything I enjoy writing on here within the eves...so do some don't but I love authenticity with friends.
ReplyDeleteBut one can't fixated on one area or they just get down. So there as that is the truth.
Wish I was closer to my Dad in Mom in miles because it is about a 15 hour drive at least...But oh yes I know it would be very stressful being the one on call. My sister has called in tears on more than one occasion...I feel so helpless to do much ..That is why I have extended stays up there when I do make it up
ReplyDeleteI'm having a very difficult year with situations as they are
For me I just let it go as otherwise it can really tear one apart - so hopefully they get things all settled out and ironically they were out today
ReplyDeletefrom what I learned and then I thought all was good but for now I just leave it be. It's not easy and sometimes I ponder even why I would write
something so close ....but I did....
Retired healthy and enjoying my loved ones. I've seen many that are not healthy and so fortunate. Reality is one never knows ah yes you have to go with the flow XX
ReplyDeleteBecause it's part of who you are and really it is good to be able to share sometimes. I'm glad you did as we are all human and have our struggles . It helps me and probably others to realize that though we are all from different places and have different personalities and ways of living we still have much in common as well.
ReplyDeleteI can relate to what you are going through with elderly parents...my mother-in-law is 90 and we are always on call as she is not well.Each week is a 3and a half hour drive to take her to appointments etc.You have to be strong even though it zaps your energy .Take care Jack and take the rest and relaxation when you can.
ReplyDeleteJack,as difficult as it may be,try to do the best you can and know that you have friends that are praying with and for you.I wish you a good week.Take care.
ReplyDeleteAll the best to you and your family.
ReplyDeletewe do not wish to be a care amigo----although we are no longer as muscled and quick allow us what we are----we think and we feel and sometimes we say the wrong thing or appear not so "together"---but we be............just knowing that someone is there if we need them is so important-----age is relative---do not attach too much importance to a number----conversation that is logical ---sometimes a good debate----political or social--and of course a hug----heals
ReplyDelete:)
ReplyDeleteI do and here within the just after eating I nothing has changed with the exception of taking a good kind of action by way of a family friend.
ReplyDeleteSo all is fine. Grey I have always forgotten your name but here the weather still has been exceptional. And I think over there as well.
Relaxing and responding back.
Parrie as you know it is what it is an I just logged on and I truly wish you back the same.
ReplyDeleteDJ this is where I thank you you are one that is independant and from here to you I do say ---- merci.
ReplyDeleteyou or we?
ReplyDeleteyes this is truly mi amiga, one has to just understand what is good and what is not great. Healing this is a topic perhaps. I don't attach to much to the number as you know from earlier days. And here so many would be wondering what and whom you are and your one of the most caring people within your scope of what you do si.
ReplyDeleteMay your month end more happily than it is beginning. Peace
ReplyDelete
