Dad called me about 7:15 a.m. He doesn't understand why I can't get there in 10 minutes like Todd and Gary. He said he was going to buy a bicycle or a motor scooter so he doesn't have to wait for us. I said, "OK." I arrived about 8:15 a.m. and we did the usual drill- McDonalds, bought groceries and then back to the Condo, I cleaned up a bit, we read scriptures and then visited for a while. He asked me if he was really sealed to Mom and I said, "of course you are!!" He said, "When can I see her again?" I told him when he passes onto the next life. He said, "Not 'til then, are you sure?" (by the way, last week, he asked me who my mom was in the middle of a conversation about his doctor's appointment. I replied, "It's Joan!" and he said, " Is that my wife?" "Yes, I said.") Some days, I wish Mom could just stop in and pay him a little visit.
I opted not to discuss any of the insurance issues or medical issues. I didn't want to upset him. He was really missing mom today.
One more thing: He said he was going to cancel the Meals on Wheels because they didn't give him enough food!? I hope he doesn't, but it's up to him.
