her last trip home was more disturbing
here is the link to my blog on her book
i titled the blog my last trip home
so now i have two blogs with the same title
her story
my story
mine
well its just the opposite direction of her
i have 7 siblings
one my brother joe died a few years ago with alzheimers disease
the remaining 6 siblings live from the lower ozarks in arkansas down into texas to san antonio
a trip of about 600 miles total
their age ranges from 64 to 78
all are retired
like my wife she and i
we mainly only visited with my siblings
my recent blogs on alzheimers disease and how it may eventually affect me and my siblings made me realize that we my wife she and i need to seize this moment while we can
while we are healthy and able
to visit my siblings
i realize that now was the time
now we have a family reunion each year in the summer
my wife she and i had to miss this year because mr h had to be delivered early and was eventually in the hospital so long
we also wanted to wait to visit the bros and sises when mr h had stabilized
well
mr h stabilized quite well right now
so it was go we did
we made my last trip home
now i dont mean this is really my last trip home
since we plan to return to see everyone as long as we are physically able
what i mean is
i wanted to extract a good visit with each sibling and their spouses
really visit without entering those areas that we shouldnt go to
but
you know a really good visit
you know when that happens
well
it happened at every stop along the way
as we left each home
my wife she and i looked at each other
you know
that was really a good visit wasnt it
no we didnt run around and go places since we have seen over the years all we want to see of the area
all we wanted to do was visit
i guess
what im trying to say is
if i never got to go back home to visit family again
and
this one was the last one i ever got to do
then
i am happy
quite happy
quite content
this
my last trip home
was the best one
