Early morning at the park ©voyager, all rights reserved
Our virtual vacation is over and Jack and I are ready to get back into our usual routines… sort of. My mother is approaching the end of her life and I’ve been spending my days at her nursing home which doesn’t leave me much time to take Jack out to his favourite trails. We’ve been managing by taking shorter walks around the neighbourhood in the early morning and late evening and Jack is just so happy to spend time with me that he hasn’t even complained. Poor Bubba is used to hanging out with me all day and he is not happy about me being gone so much. When I’m home he sticks to me like a lollipop on a cat, afraid that I’ll sneak out when his isn’t looking. This morning I made a point of taking some extra time to take him to our local park and it was such a joy to watch him splash and frolic that I’m going to try to do that every day. It’s good for both of us to have a small bit of normal in the form of fresh air and exercise. The blog is a good bit of normal for me, too.
There’s no wifi in my mom’s care home so that’s a bit of a challenge, but we’ll try to be here every day as usual.
My warm thoughts.
I love the little rapids. I presume that’s a blue heron and definitely Canada geese in the background.
Having some time together outdoors and some water time for Jack sound like a very good thing.
That is a beautiful, calm picture.♥
*hugs*
Yay, Jack’s Walk is back!
Sorry you’re going through a tough time. Please don’t forget to take care of yourself while you’re taking care of your mom.
All my good thoughts to your mom. Be gentle with yourself, and all my love to you.
DonDueed,
Thanks. It’s good to be back. This place is like home to me.
Thanks everyone for your good wishes. I’m doing alright.
