Strange day today, we moved mum to a nursing home after a long period of seeing her go in and out of hospital.
One part of me is pleased that we can settle her in and I know she will get better care but another part of me feels like driving back out there and taking back home.
Maybe it is because at the back of your mind you can't help thinking this will be the last move, another is the inability to reconcile the fact that the woman who had boundless energy is now so unable to enjoy the things we take for granted.
Unfortunately mum has never really taken well to change and has always been a home bird, if this latest move is to succeed she will very much need to feel this new place is her home. If she doesn't I am not sure what will happen.
