So tomorrow is Easter and we want to do something to celebrate. Part of me wishes I could just have a normal Easter dinner with my family and exchange candy or whatever it is that other people do. We arranged in shifts so my brother will go up and get my dad ready, wait while he takes a nap, pack his meds and bring him to brunch a few blocks from his hospital.. i think my mom will have him while we're there, and then I'll take him back afterwards and spend the evening until he goes to bed. It's raining in new york, so my big wish for tomorrow is that the weather clears up so i don't need to hold the big umbrella and push the wheelchair back at the same time. sometimes i think i should just focus more time on working out so i'd be better at doing that kind of thing..
Of course it would be easier to just go to someone's house for dinner and go home afterwards, but i feel lucky to be spending the holiday with my family either way.. and logistics are pretty much the least important thing when i really think about it.

it's tough.....you have to
it's tough.....you have to get him there, he can be cranky about it, tired and sleepy, he will never tell you how much he appreciates it. you have to value it yourself. hold on to it while living in the present as much as possible. when i think of the past or future. it becomes to overwhelming.
also....it takes skills to push a wheelchair and hold an umbrella at the same time...i have yet to master.
ha, thanks
you're right darkharbor - it's all about the moment. easter brunch went really well, and the rain went away..
