I wish I could say this Christmas of 2013 brought us a miracle; that Di would reverse her downward trend; but such is not the case. The miracle was that we were able to have a Christmas with her; possibly the last one.
We (Lisa, Scott, Lynn, and I) had Christmas brunch with Di at the Lodge. It was a wonderful special Christmas. Di was delighted; it was what she wanted for Christmas-to be with her family. We were also pleased to be able to have this time with her. She enjoyed the grape leaves and sfeeha; Syrian dishes she had not had for some time. Di had Xmas gifts from Elaine Loehr (a special friend from Yellowknife) a nd Cheryl Rousseau,a friend from work here at CFB Comox. We gave her a shawl that Lisa had gotten in Mexico. When it was time to leave (the Lodge gave us a private room for two hours) I took Di into the Activity room were the Lodge had a Christmas gift opening for the residents. Di received two gifts; a shawl and a Starbucks coffee mug.
To be continued.
