Wow being away from the family is becoming more and more difficult. Last night I got a call from Missy and she has been in mom overload. Drew got hurt on the new playground and now will have to have more dental work. He fell and his knee hit his chin and loosen his two front bottom teeth. These are the times when I know we need to be closer together with the family but I am still seeking houseing for brother Larry. A lady came by today but was no help as she was with medicaid and Larry makes too much with his Social Security to be on medicaid. I was also told to call a service that would help me but they said he is already signed up with a case manager who I really need to talk too to get a better direction. Great, that appointment is tomorrow at noon. He has been the same to me but as I look back on his years most of his issues were already there. He still gets up at night an raids the refridge, he did this most of his life. Whenever he would stay with me or our cousin Carl he would eat a moderate dinner but would clean up all the leftovers that night. I have bought snacks and cereal for his late night urges and this is helping. We had a good night last night although the Carolina Hurricanes got beat pretty bad. We watched them at a good pizza parlour and Larry was happy they had N/A beer.(non alcholic). He has been clean since our first or at least our 2nd day together. I have us scheduled to fly to the DR on the 4th of june. this will be good for him and I know for Missy and the rest of the family to have us close by. I know the 2 weeks we are there will be busy as we try and move our stuff and get ready for our time to come back to the United States and get regrounded and back to some kind of work.
I realize Missy is up to her eyeballs in kids, work and just being so I added to this blog to remember the trying times that we have to etch out a fun filled family life.
peace to all.
