Sister Gayle called last night after she had a long conversation with Mom. She said Mom told her the reason she didn't want us to come over for Thanksgiving was...
wait for it...
she wanted to have some time alone.
So, the entire conversations with Mom, communicating our love for them and our collective desire to be with them, the reasons she presented to me, were just crap. Bottom line: Go Away.
I get it. Really. Thanks.

It is not just you, it was all the folks that were there to help... It was overwhelming to someone who craves solitude.
ReplyDeleteI understand what you are saying. But all the folks had been gone for a month. And I'm the one she is telling to stay away.
ReplyDeleteThe rest of us are so far away geographically that she has a false sense of security concerning being left alone! I may have to hop on a plane and show up!
ReplyDeleteYah. I found out tonight that Mom is telling Dad's friends not to come over. :(
ReplyDeleteWhat is going on? My first thought is she is trying to hide something. The next thought is dementia.
ReplyDeleteI'll email you the letter Mom sent my family.
