On with the theme before Mom comes back to Fort Worth on Thursday. When I think of my Mom moving up here I get very excited. I think of us visiting for no particular reason. Maybe we can exercise together. We have talked of picking a weekly show to watch. I will be glad to have family so close, since we have always moved around or lived away from each other. Living close to Mark's parents has been nice. And I will probably see my brother more when they get here, even though he only lives 15 minutes away from me now.
My Mom jokes about having to buy a house that has doors for wheelchairs. They are not even close to that. But it does make me think that I want to be close to her and Dad as they grow older and may need help. I love to joke with my anti-Father-in-law about putting everyone in the same home so we can combine our visits. Wouldn't want to waste time going to different places, you know!
I would love to be near my mom. I hope it works out for you.
That sounds great. It will be nice to have your mom close. I know what your
mom is saying. When you get to be our age, you start thinking about
wheelchairs.
