Leaving For Florida!!

[Janet]

Thanks everyone. Yes Angie, she goes because of the cold here. It's hard for her to get out and drive and she needs someone to clear her walks of ice and snow. In Florida she has a great time. Her house is right across the street from the club house in the park where she lives. So she always knows what is happening and who's going where. She loves being in Florida (Bradenton) and has friends down there that keep an eye on her. She has been going there for about 20 years now.

You're so right Debbie, it is a blessing she can go at all. She is doing so much better now that she is no longer losing blood. Thank God for Dr. Abadoli.

We keep in touch with phone calls and so much better now with cell phones. No long distance costs so we can talk as long as the batteries hold out...LOL

I know...April will be here before I know it and then I'll be wishing she was back in Florida...LOL She's a character and really keeps me on my toes...LOL

I totally understand Janet. I have an 86 year old Aunt and I worry plenty.

Love is a costly thing, but so worth it!

Hugs,

Judy

My mil and fil are in Palmetto, FL for the winter. They're 81 and 86 and they would have been devestated if they couldn't have gone down. They bought into a trailer park back in 1985 and have made it down every year since. Just think of all the fun she will have, Janet. She'll be fine.

I know she'll be fine...she loves it there. She's in a type of trailer park also, but it has an added on front porch and she made it wider too. She kept telling her Drs. that she was going to go no matter what and she did.

Janet, what a change from last year!!! You couldn't wait for her to leave last year and this year you're going to miss her and are in tears that she's leaving. I'm so glad that your relationship is a lot better. You and your Mom have gotten so much closer lately. You're very blessed!!!

[Janet]

Yes we have gotten so much closer. I think having her 'need' me once in a while helped too. She was always so much the 'bossy' person and it didn't matter what anyone else thought, but since she was sick and losing blood, that changed. I'm so much happier being with her than I was a year ago. I'm glad we were able to draw closer to each other before it was too late.

She and my SIL made it to Florida just fine. They were unloading everything, but mom wanted to call so I woudn't worry. My SIL doesn't get to stay there for a day or so this time, she is on a plane back as I type.

Bless her heart Janet! She's young inside and that counts for everything!
