I'm glad Josh stayed here today. He's been under the weather the past couple of days. It was better for him to be with me when he got the news. In this case her dementia is a blessing. Josh's dad has told her she has cancer yet 10 min later she has forgotten again.
They are planning to visit soon while they still can but looks like we will plan some visits to Quebec where they are soon as well. I just want to support Josh - I sure know what it's all about after losing my Mom to that horrible disease.
Yes, she's had a rough go of it lately. First the Alzheimer's & some heart problems. Then breaking her hip last summer. Now this. From what I've been told - she is not going to have treatment. Her heart could not take it and she has too many other health issues. His dad said they are moving up their Spring visits. They had returned early from their winter in England. I think his dad knew for a while but didn't want to tell the kids. They are all still in shock. I am glad Josh is here Joe, not in Toronto although the family is so spread out that a plan will be difficult for all.
They've decided to drive to Toronto this weekend so I will be cutting Easter with the kids a little short to spend Sun dinner there. (The kids will be here Friday through Sun brunch). They'd like to visit here in a month or 2 but Josh told them June as I'm having my surgery in May and we need to see how I'm doing. That's a bit of a relief.
My kids understand totally. Funny, Brandon is bringing us Seasons 1&2 of Breaking Bad to watch. He messaged me "mom - the main character has lung cancer - maybe it would not be good for Josh to watch right now". Very thoughtful. I told Josh but he feels he can handle it.
When I said "they" want to visit us in June - I meant his parents. The kids come & go all the time. I will be going to Toronto next weekend too to celebrate Brandon's birthday. Hoping he brings along his new girlfriend whom we hope to meet.
I get her in May! What a social gal our Betsey is! . I have only met one other DB'er. That was about 5 years ago. The fact we get together at all is pretty amazing.
