Re: not coping

He was a little better today. And so was I with him. I'm trying to be more patient and spend time with him. Today just seemed a little easier for both of us. It's a month today since Jasper passed away

Re: not coping

Re: not coping

I started to write a poem about him today @outlander. It seems Ike so much longer than a month. I still think about him with most things I do. Especially with things like putting plastic away.

Re: not coping

I am co hosting with another volunteer tommorow morning to teach Auslan. It could be interesting and challenging.

That's about all I think, what about you? @outlander

Re: not coping

what is auslan? @Sans911


um I have a pick up first thing in the morning, then my nurse, then a delivery then I have the kids in the late arvo plus the horses.
its mums birthday next week and since we aren't allowed to do anything im having a look at grazing platters and maybe a flower delivery to her as well throughout the day. we would usually go out for dinner or lunch somewhere of her choosing or go out and about but not this yr so trying to find a way to make it special even by staying at home.
I ordered her a cake today that the kids had picked out for her as well.

Re: not coping

Sorry I was a bit distracted by a phone call @outlander. It's Australian sign language. We are doing it via a video chat. I will be the 'voice', and also I will be typing everyone's speech- this is known as closed captioning. The other volunteer host can hear a little bit, particularly with headphones on, but she lip reads better. Oh, and she has paralysis post surgery too so she can only sign with one hand. She's a remarkable young lady. Very bright, intelligent and funny. She comes to my game night.
