Divina was stuck at home with the men today while mom did her JOB, and Florida got WET.
It didn’t matter much, her mood has been better this week. She ordered herself food, while the guys laid around worried about work. They will all be home again tomorrow.
I snuck in after work to check on her, and she was sound asleep. So I went and rested my eyes too. All the way till 7 pm. Then I found her TXT “Hi”
She was sitting in bed rocking in the dark, but on the phone.
The new chat person was quite nice today and actually visited with the both of us. Day by day we’ll see how that goes.
I will say, a young man with empathy, patience, and work ethic will go far!
She was thrilled to have me sit on her bed and chit-chat with her new friend. She rocked and smiled the whole while the young man spoke. It’s the little bits of connections that are priceless. It might only be a few minutes a day, but God Bless those minutes. To have her look into my eyes and be there is the best gift ever.
I’m not trying to push it, so back to prepping. There’s still plenty to do to get ready for the next day.
Bits for reference
Divina’s room was decorated in nearly all black. She is in mourning, never expecting her husband & best friend to pack her up and walk away. She has not dealt with this more than saying several times randomly, “I can’t believe DM did this” It was a complete and total shocker. So I indulged her all black furniture and bedding. She allowed the ceiling to stay white and keep one wall of her old splatter paint. Someday I’ll show it to you. It needs to be preserved for posterity…😂
Night night
I’m building a Ko-Fi Page for her. We'll set a goal soon for a special day, or a Dr Visit goal soon.
So far, I’ve been able to support her financially with my job. She has county indigent coverage for doctor visits & her meds are provided by the pharmaceutical company PHP program. I’ll explain more about those little by little. Her disability response is pending.
The next task is to find a family lawyer who can help with the guardianship process. That way, I can set up a trust for her continued care in the worst case scenario.
The biggest help we can be to Divina & anyone else, is kindness & patience.
Everyone is going through something, some more than others, and none of it shows on the outside. Smiles go a long way to those struggling inside.
