I decided to spend the day with Alice on Mother's Day even though she did not remember it was a special day. I stopped on the way out to pick up a Cherry Cheese Cake that she likes and a card. I felt at least if she forgets she can look at the card and remember for a while. I called when I was almost there to let her know I would be there.
I drove up and went inside. She seemed surprised that I was there , but was glad I came. LOL I gave her The candy and card and she was all smiles, but seemed sad that she didn't have me anything. I kept telling her no big deal. I just wanted to surprise her.
Got a call from Pat saying her and Sam and Patti were stopping by for a short visit. I was so happy they came. She gets no visitors except me and that has got to be pretty boring. She didn't remember them and wanted to show them the whole house all over again. They brought her a box of candy and guess what yep she was happy. I wish she had friends, but she has been out of work and never seemed to keep up with anyone and when you are older and don't keep up with other's you get forgotten. She loved the visit and kept wanting to give them a hug and kiss. She kept telling them she loved them. She didn't remember that I use to be married to Sam and that is a good thing. LOL I don't know what she might have said.
We set outside in the back for a while and enjoyed the evening together. Alice would say how good Irv was and he laughed and said right now, but tonight it will be a different thing. Many night's she forgets who Irv is and he has to remind her he is her husband. She asked me when we were leaving to go home because she was getting tired. So had to explain to her we were home. Wow Irv goes through this every night.
They went to bed at 7:30 pm so I had the whole evening by myself. She wakes up about 2 in the morning and Irv has to be up with her and then might go back to sleep around 4:30. He said he is always tired. I know why.
Well all in all it was a nice day with Alice.
