What a Trip

Finally, back home. Later than expected. Mom is with me and I have a pot of soup cooking. Hopefully it will be done by morning for lunch. If not, life will go on.
With mixed feelings, we have left dad behind. The weekend staff at this rehab facility would not get a green light from me. Mom is in agreement and will be making some pointed calls on Monday.
But we are spent. Mom had to come with me. She is exhausted and I believe her visit will do lots of good. I hope so. She had nothing left at the end of this week, and I can see why. What a roller coaster.
So dad faces rehab and life outside the cocoon of family.
Here comes the lessons, for all of us. School is in session.
