Make plans and God
laughs is what I always need to remember. We had been planning for a week or
more to go to a documentary at a local movie theatre. The tickets had been
purchased online and lunch was planned after the early showing. Mom is great
about getting dressed and being ready to go, yet when it’s time to head to the
car she claims her girlfriends are picking her up and they have other plans.
She refused to go with me. We try every type of distraction to no avail. I wasn’t
in the best mood having an aching knee already in pain. This on top of it and
now running late had me at the end of my rope. I went to the car and started it
sending Larry in to try and convince her to come. Finally I stomped into the
living room, grabbed her purse, grabbed her cane, pulled her up out of the
chair and said she was coming with me. I walked her to the car and buckled her in
and she was fine. I don’t know why I think I have to let her have her free will
anymore because she is mentally incapable of making decisions.
