Glue

It was about a year ago that I came to Comox with the intention of staying for a while to spend time with Mom - Dad too :-).  I was here for 2 months - the weather was beautiful and Mom was still at home - precious times. It's hard to believe a year has come and gone - puts me in a reflective state of mind as I realize how life has evolved and taken on a new shape.

I've been working from Comox the past week and have had several good visits with Mom. I'm grateful to be able to be here to spend time with her. Scott has been here working too and we've enjoyed the visit with Dad.  Last night, Scott bbq'd pork chops and made salty delicious KFC gravy to pour over mashed potatoes with jalapeño - nummy!  Oh - corn on the cob too. We enjoyed our meal and our time together, and when we visit Mom today, we'll be telling her about it. She likes to hear about what's going on and while we're not sure what she understands, we know she loves her family!  It's important for us to help her stay connected to her family, helping her to be a part of our lives.  Despite her circumstances, Mom is still the glue that keeps us together - as was and always will be.   Here's a great pic of Mom from my first visit with her this week- love that smile!  And a pic of Dad, Scott and I enjoying a lunch of Fish and Chips before going to see Momma...
