September 1, 2009

Today is a new day and a great day!  Mom is alert and stronger again.  Today she's back to her normal self of wanting to get around and do things.  She is just not happy to have me, or anyone else, do things for her.  I'm proud of her self sufficient nature.  It amazes me, and pulls on my heart strings when I watch her do something that is so easy for me to do, yet she pushes and struggles and tries so hard to do things herself.  She keeps her home in perfect order, her body is always clean, she is always dressed...right down to having her makeup and lipstick on.  When she has to go to the beauty salon at 8:00 in the morning, she gets up at 5:00 a.m. so she can get herself ready to go.  I'm so proud of her!

After I pick her up from having her hair done, we take a ride to Ada, then go to the DQ for her favorite lunch.  She loves riding in the car and seeing what's 'happenin'!  Often friends will come to the car and visit with her and she loves that!  Today, George Smith came over and chatted awhile.

It's been a wonderful day and my heart just bursts with pride as I watch her push ahead.
