Getting old...birthday on Friday.
Added 2023-10-15 08:31:22 +0000 UTCWell I am getting old...
Hasn't been the best of years but I am grateful for what I have.
I plan to have lunch with my children on Friday and then head off to see my parents. I haven't seen them in a few years. Both my parents were in hospital recently for covid. They have since recovered.
I don't live far but I just don't travel much because of the fainting. My mum also has dementia and parkinsons, and to be honest I just feel sad seeing her decline. I kind of wanted to remember her how she was. I realized pushing people away because of fear is not the best way.
She still remembers me most of the time when I call, but my siblings aren't so lucky.
I just want to be with my family on my birthday and try and get back those days pre-covid where visiting family was a normal and common thing.
