Here we are at the end of another month, wow. We took an old friend to lunch last week. It was at an all you can eat Chinese buffet restaurant in the area. I couldn't resist taking the photo above, the ornament was decorating the washroom. They have some beautiful pieces at various places in the restaurant. Maybe the next time I can take this carved wooden flowers piece which I thought was lovely.
My friend had treated us to a lovely lunch at Christmastime. Her husband is suffering from heart failure. As we bid them goodbye and left, we had no idea that he had fallen outside of the restaurant and had to be taken to hospital. She was her usual cheerful self, despite having made arrangements to put her husband into a home as soon as an opening becomes available. It is just too hard for her to continue looking after him.
Anyway, I was happy to be able to take her to lunch last week.
Glad you enjoyed the restaurant with your friends, but sorry to hear of the accident afterwards. It's very hard caring for people who are in need of long term care. Hugs, Valerie

Hi Christine, I am so sorry to hear about your friend. We have had family and friends in the same situation. It is heartbreaking because you just want to carry on but come to the realization that help is needed. As we get older I hear this going on more and more. We take no day for granted as none of us know what is around the corner. I'm sending my love and very best wishes to your friend. I hope she gets some peace of mind soon.
ReplyDeleteAnd obviously my thoughts are with her husband too.

Thanks Denise.
