i very much want to understand your message
please i am open to all that one has to offer
in suggestions
knowing in the end
i will do what i feel is most important
and you most certainly qualify
so happy to hear you can still be active
in cooking, laundry
and if memory serves me right
you love gardening and dabble
on an easel and paint
i want to try and dabble with pastels
and chalk along with Eva at my side on her
easel
Corissa is doing much better going to the program she has been
going to for six months now
no input from father when a once a month mandatory
session between the three of us and therapist to date zero
i make it my business to be available
for my granddaughter and daughter
these two are like SISTERS
it's beautiful
trying to get Corissa to study for the written
so she can get her permit
and i can be the licensed driver
as she takes me shopping to the doctors
and get the experience so i can count on her
and the car won't just sit in a parked position
she could do errands
she is apprehensive about driving
i expressed she would be doing herself
a disservice
i hope to hear from you again
you have been very instrumental
in my life
i would understand otherwise
because i care toooooooo much
love
me

Eva,
I, myself, do not do well in explaining myself; sometimes better to leave certain areas alone.
Glad to learn of some of the upside of things; especially Corissa getting a permit to drive. When she gets her license, she will be most helpful for you to get around. Please let her know "I care very much about her". Somehow those few words spoken with her made a close connection between us.
Yes, I once loved painting. Self taught. I Have not painted in over ten years. The easel stands idle, along with the table full of paints. Wrists, hands, fingers, and the ability to stand with the painful spine, legs and burning feet do not allow for me to even attempt at painting. I often think about it though. I do have the painting of The Divine Mercy in my living room. I had sent a copy to you several years ago.
Am able to do very little gardening; but do manage to put some solar lighted items decorating the walk way. Also have a lighted wreath for each season on the front door.
It's just my husband and myself so spreading laundry over a few days works pretty well. Once enjoyed cooking. Now; it's the quickest and easiest to make meal. Luckily, my husband is not a fussy eater.
We all do the best to work with our handicaps learning new and different ways to accomplish the necessities.
The best advice I can give for both of us is to not dwell on the things that sadden us. Try to look for what can bring us some joy; whether movies, music and of course, loved ones.
Because I care,
Gerry
