In bed with my Mom...

I´m spending my second night cuddled up in bed with my Mother.  Now it´s 6:15 and I cannot sleep any longer.  Friday was a rough day for her so I drove out to her cottage in the afternoon and spent the night with her.  Yesterday she was feeling a bit better, but she was exhausted and slept most of the day. Just being in this house brings me peace.  Walking around the little house with my Mom's most treasured things and having the open fields, the woods and the lake on different sides of the house just fills my soul...

Skyler was a bit sad when I left on Friday.  She was going to a birthday party with a Halloween theme and I had promised to make her into a vampire.  Danny was left in charge of the makeup and said he had to redo it 5 times...  When they came by to visit yesterday she told me that she had won best price for costume and makeup!!!  Yay, Daddy to the rescue!!!

Today my 92 year old grandmother is coming to stay with my Mother and I for a few days.  Since my grandma wouldn´t want to leave my grandpa home alone, Annbritt, who has been the most amazing help here will go and spend some time with her dad.  I know that it may be hard for my grandmother to come here right now but she wants to come and spend time with my Mom.  And she says, just like me, that it´s easier being close by and feeling like you can be somekind of help than being far away and having your mind wander the whole time...
