Yesterday Mom rode with me to take Boudxy to the vet for his annual vaccinations. Since we had driven so far across town we couldn't just simply go home when we were done, so we stopped by Hobby Lobby to browse. Doncha' just love that place? We looked from one end of the store to another. Mom pushed the cart and we enjoyed our browsing. We were there a very, long time. Mom has gotten much slower with her walking, however the shopping cart gives her good stability. I made a mental note that perhaps this wasn't the best store to take her for browsing. She commented on how much she wished she could still live in her own home again. I told her I understood, and we kept on movin'. She hasn't referred to her home in a long time, but I guess seeing all the things for a home rekindled the flame again. It's really sad to see my once energetic, active Mom, slow w-a-y down. Really w-a-y down.
Sometimes the Golden Years aren't actually so "golden".
