I’m not really sure why I was the privileged one put on the
mailing list for Alpine Ridge. Perhaps I
had made the request – but it would have been over four months ago.
I received a letter last month informing me that I would
have the opportunity to meet with a director and nurse if I had any questions
concerning mom. I assumed that my three
sibs would be getting the same letter.
They never did.
And just the other day, I received a calendar schedule for
this month – first one that has come in the mail since January when we took mom
there to live. Really? I remember asking about them back in March –
but I never received a hard copy of one.
I did find one on the web and have looked at it and will still refer to
it as I sometimes misplace my hard copy – but I am still puzzled at why I would
receive these things and not my sibs. Surely they have that information for my
brothers.
I may have given my address to the director back in
December – before we had even moved mom in.
Though I don’t remember having provided them with it. But still.
That was six months ago!
Anyway, the calendar has my mom’s birthday marked on the
calendar for yesterday – but really it isn’t until the end of this month. I
mentioned it to the activities director – just in case there was a mix up on
her paper work. Right now I don’t guess
it really matters much when her birthday is celebrated or if celebrated at
all.
Last month mom told me that she decided she was 62.
“Oh, you decided that?”
“Yes. That is how
old I am”
Great. That means
she gave birth to me when I was only eleven.
Yesterday she informed me that she is 174. That is the same age at Harold.
