How was your visit last week?
09-02 18:30
Matt:
Hope you had a good Labor Day weekend
09-02 18:31

Yes, we did, thank you! It was needed by ALL educators!
09-02 18:32
Rush:
The first week back is always a challenge.
And, I hope that the weekend was a good one for you as well!
09-02 18:32
Matt:
It was good, thnx…..My wife took here mother to S Carolina to visit my MIL sister & brother, while I stayed back and visited my FIL
09-02 18:32
Matt:
He’s in assisted living now
09-02 18:33
Rush:
That sounds good. I used to enjoy time with my father-in-law.
How is he doing there?
09-02 18:33
Matt:
It’s tought to watch, but we had a good few days together
He has dementia
09-02 18:34
Rush:
I see. That is always difficult. I am sorry.
09-02 18:34
Matt:
Thnx
09-02 18:34
Rush:
Does he have times when the dementia is less profound?
09-02 18:35
Matt:
My wife talks with him every week and you never know which “dad” you’ll get
09-02 18:35
Rush:
Yes.
09-02 18:36
Matt:
My visit was really good, though he goes through phases of why he’s there and is never happy
09-02 18:36
Rush:
I mentioned before, but my mother was heading that direction before she passed away.
09-02 18:37
Rush:
That is certainly tough, and you are great taking time to be with him.
09-02 18:37
Matt:
It’s tough to watch, but he’s in a place where he can be taken care of 24/7 and my MIL visits daily, sooo
09-02 18:38
Rush:
We recall how Hounder went through so much with her mother in that regard.
Yes.
09-02 18:38
Matt:
Right before we placed him there, I was emailing Hounder a lot. She was a great ear
09-02 18:39
Rush:
Good.
And that was good for her as well, I am sure.
09-02 18:39
Matt:
Yes
09-02 18:40
Rush:
I hope that she is doing well. We haven’t heard from her for a wile.
09-02 18:40
Matt:

09-02 18:40
Rush:
No Internet.
Ah.
09-02 18:41
Rush:
She lives in the upper part of the state, I believe?
09-02 18:41

Beautiful area
09-02 18:42
Rush:
Nice.
09-02 18:42
Rush:
And, in Florida, I thought I recall that she lives in the upper portion of the state.
09-02 18:43
