A Peaceful Sleep
I wanted to let you know Andre is coming along quite well. My brother and his family have come down for a visit and are staying with us over Easter. What a joy it is to have them with us.
Andre spoke with his brother on the phone the other day and has been wanting to go to Montreal ever since. I am a little apprehensive about taking such a long journey, so soon; so I have invited Dion and wife to our home for Easter. I didn't get a positive yes for an answer, he said he would let me know; we will just have to wait and see.
Andre has a homemaker that comes in, to be with him for two hours twice a week. Her visits have allowed me time to return to the gym and not have to worry about what is happening at home. That little bit of time each week helps me cope with the daily routines of being a caregiver. I had no idea how involved it is.
Last night I tucked Andre into bed kissed him good night and got myself ready for bed. I was asleep, when I heard Andre speaking to me. I opened my eyes and he was standing at the side of the bed pulling the blankets down. I sat up and he said "I'm sleeping here, in my own bed." As he lowered himself into our bed my heart was racing. I fluffed his pillows and he laid his head down with a sigh. "I'm home; now", he said as he slid his arm under my my neck. I snuggled next to him. With my head on his shoulder and his arm around me I slept the most peaceful sleep I have had in a long time.
Wishing You All a Very Happy Easter
