@Exoplanet Hey Exoplanet I have been thinking of you alot and wondering how you were. Am hoping the visit from your sister goes well. I know if I had my sister stay it would be an interesting experience lol. I also hope that your daughter comes to visit soon. You are a lovely person and a very brave woman indeed. Hugs and hugs and loads of love from peaxxxx
Sending all my warmest wishes to you @Exoplanet . Very glad to hear you are doing some of that paperwork. It hopefully will make a big difference in you maintaining control and thus dignity over time. Love
My Sisters visit was lovely. There was a lot of 'deep & meaningful chats', but there was a lot of just plain chatting too. She arrived around lunch time, my plan was that we'd go into my little town for lunch, but first we had a cuppa & chatted. I told of the couple of things I'd arranged already & she was very good about them. By the time we went into town, it must have been after 2pm. My little town has a coffee shop, a take away joint & a pub - but the coffee shop & pub had finished lunches & the take away didn't have anything we could eat {I've got a problem with gluten & my Sister is on a particular diet}. We'd bought a bbq chook to have for tea, so we went & sat in the park & pinched a leg each off of it & then got into some of the snacks we'd bought for the evening as well 🙂 Then we went to a look-out spot, I figured it would be nice to do something, that that might avoid the conversation drying up & those awkward silences settling in - it went well. She took some pics with her phone, which had just updated - so it took some time for her to figure out how to do it again 🙂 We got back home at a time for the evening things to begin, another cuppa, a feed for the puppies {who were just soooooo excited that someone else was in their home, that I had to get them to sit outside or in my bedroom a couple of times to ease how much love & cuddles they wanted [insisted] on giving my Sister 😄 }, lit the fire, put the chook & some vegs in the steamer, etc. After tea the conversation did die down a little, so I suggested a movie off netflix. I probably should have looked at the movie info, because of all the movies to pick it was one with Adam Sandler in it - that was all about finding a cure for cancer! I thought Adam Sandler, that'll be good - a comedy, it was good, though different I thought for one of his movies . . . definitely more adult. We both laughed heaps through it, mostly due to adult awkward bits, but laughter all the same 🙂 It did make me think & I told my Sister, if we find a cure for cancer - we end the World. She tells me that Donald Trump has announced America has found the cure, but that she, like so many others, dismissed that & pretty well everything he says. The timing seemed to work well, after the movie it was time for the puppies last wee walk for the night, I popped them into my bedroom & we set up my Sisters bedding. She said she was comfortable & warm [she was right in front of the fire} . . . I did notice a little soft snoring through the night - so I'm pretty sure she slept 😄 In the morning she told me she wanted to shout me a coffee at the coffee shop & that she'd head off from there. She also gave me a lovely beauty cream, she makes her own; she a qualified beautician & also a qualified teacher's aid {she works with children that have special needs, she understands what my daughter experiences with her youngest that is autistic, very well} & a necklace she made out of a bracelet that the catch had broken. I think she was a little nervous about giving me the necklace because it was made from a broken bracelet, but it's beautiful, turquoise & silver; & the beauty of her wanting to give it to me cannot be described. She got me a gluten free chocolate brownie with my coffee . . . it was divine! with real cream & fresh strawberry too! Early in the visit I thanked my sister for being strong for me, but I told her I realized that this situation affected her too, I knew that she was a person & that it was alright for her to be sad. She was a little sad just as we said goodbye, we were about to get into our own separate cars & she suddenly grabbed me, gave me a long, tight hug & cried a little. It was such a beautiful moment for us both
My daughter is coming tomorrow! I'm even more nervous about that visit, though I desperately want it. When she called last night she even suggested it might be today! I'm kinda hoping it's tomorrow, that'll give me time to re-do the few things I prepared for my sisters visit - which seemed to go very well.
One of the things I was able to ask my sister, was something that I had in my head but wasn't sure about. My mother was a blue baby, I didn't realize my aunt was too. My grandmother had a rare blood type & never had a healthy, live baby. I knew my grandmother had had many miscarrigages & still borns, & that is probably when I had heard about my mother. I think a lot about nature & the natural process of things, I always have. The natural process of things would not have had my mother take a breath, never loan have 4 children. With the natural process my grandmother would never have had a live child. I choose to live my natural life, through it's natural stages & end naturally.
