Ok I guess this has been one of the hardest weeks in my life no one knows where life is going to take us and yes we go through our lives thinking We are Invincible nothing worries us too much we cross every obstacle as we go some take a little longer than others to get around Theres no way i would have thought 21 months ago that we would be saying goodbye to Kev our best mate husband dad and grandad And in that time since Kev our lives have changed so much I left my kids my friends my family to come back to NZ to help out my parents Shirley and Tubby Bloor Since Ive been back it has been a privilege to move back in with the parents nobody can know unless they have done it A mixture of emotions moving back in with mum and dad after 41 years especially when youre 56 years old The respect is still there so when they want there tea at 5 pm on the dot You do it When the TVs so loud you have to sit outside well you just do it and when they go to bed at 7 30 pm you keep the volume down and hope theyre not gonna poke there head around the door and give you a lecture on staying up late and keeping there cockatoo George awake whom took over when all the kids left home the bird or kid however we like to think whom gets toast and peaches for breakfast 3 veges and meat for tea and god knows what in-between He is there child i guess a lot of people will relate .. Well things have been sliding a bit on our home front I ve been going to work Some days i come home Dads put the cheese in the freezer and the ice-cream in the fridge and thats ok But when at 80 years with parkinsons and and a bit of lewy body dementia hes taken the car out then the next day mum tells me the police bought him back I go to the station theres no reports but Im pretty sure somebody did bring him back Thankyou whom ever you are M y mum and dad went into a rest home this week And with all my years of looking after everyone elses parent s I will never forget the look on there faces as there furniture was packed onto the trailer to go to the nursing home it was like we were sending them to the gallows and heaps of moment s since wednesday i have wanted to say NO its OK we can keep doing what we are doing but thats not how it is I have a lot of respect for nursing homes but never thought that we would ever need to deal with them on a personal level after all WE are invincible Ah Love YOU MUM AND DAD xxxxxx
