Bringing Meme home
10/15/2007 03:42 p.m.


Well, we had the big family meeting this weekend, and I've officially given notice at work.

I'm going to bring Meme home, and care for her full time for as long as I am able, hopefully until the end of her life.

It will be an added pleasure to be able to be an at-home mom.

On a side note, bringing Meme home has given rise to thinking about her life, and Grandpa, and beginnings and endings, and how I would love to be able to celebrate a 50 year wedding anniversary with the one I love. Meme and Grandpa actually celebrated 53 years together before he died. But of course, I must be realistic. Jeremiah is not ready to ask that question, and the likelihood that I would live to be even 95 is slim even if he asked and the wedding happened this year.

It's strange, the thoughts that occur to me now vs. even 10 years ago when I didn't think so much about time and where I was headed.
