All,
I moved Daddy to Magnolia Place in Cairo, Georgia today. He is in a nicely furnished respite(?) room for 3 weeks then we have to make a decision. He seemed OK when I left. This has to be hard on him, so many changes, so quickly. Mary and I are very relieved to know his is warm, safe and has good food. You may remember that Derrick is there so maybe it helps HK to have a friend. I stayed and ate lunch which was very good, way better than the PB&J I had planned. I am enclosing the link to the web site so you can check it out and please send him mail occasionally; you know how he and Momma used to wait for the postman.
I was strong all day then I went back to 175 and the realization hit. It's not right for the little house to be empty. Mary and I are thankful for your prayers.
Love to you all.
Mom and A. Debbie

Without ceasing, Mom...without ceasing...
that you will know the depth of His love for you and the strength of His hand as He holds you.
I wish I could have been with you when you returned to 175, but even still, you were not alone.
This morning I called Magnolia Place to check on dad. The lady says he is doing great and that he told her he should have moved up there five years ago. I am thankful to Debbie for getting him there. This has been an unpleasant situation but I am hopeful he will adjust and be content.
Sending some Hershey's to him today in a a flat rate box. It is easier. For the first time in a long, long time I feel some relief, like I can catch my breath.
If birthdays are celebrated in heaven then Moma is have the best one of her life. Glory!
Update.
I brought Daddy back home on Thursday (9th); he lasted a week. Liked the place very well but a few issues tipped the balance. He is staying home alone at the present. I plan to hire someone to come in to clean a couple of times a week and Mary started meals on wheels again (how many times in this?). He has a call alert deal to wear and good heat in the house. He says he can manage so here we go.
