: Mid-west Trip
My mother and I are heading east for the next week. My cousin’s getting married in Missouri on Saturday and we’re taking advantage of the opportunity to visit some relatives in the area. We leave Wednesday, but the trip sort of started today, as my mother had to come over from the coast to bring Grandpa some clothes — he’s been put into a facility in Forest Grove (40 minutes from me) where he’ll stay while we’re gone. Now we’re facing the task of deciding what to do with him long-term. If he can’t walk, my mother can’t take care of him, so probably our only choice is to put him into long-term care. It’s not something he wants, and we’d probably have to sell the beach house (meaning my mom will be without a place to live), but it’s not like there are many other choices. My mom was originally planning on coming here tomorrow but it doesn’t make sense for her to come over today and then again tomorrow, so she’ll stay here tonight as well. I’ve got a ton of packing and planning and work to do before we go.
