My husband has been an important part of caring for my mom in our home. He is home most days except when he substitutes for the local high schools. He gets her medication, takes her to lunch, orders out, or makes lunch, listens patiently, and generally watches over her. I so appreciate his willingness to provide the care that I can't give when I am at work.
This week I took vacation time so that I could be with my son, daughter-in-law and their children. My DIL had surgery on her back and I am helping care for her while she recovers. My hubby has been with Mom during this and hasn't complained one bit.
My husband planted a garden for Mom but we quickly recognized that she is unable to keep it up. She needs something off the ground but even then she may not be able to care for it daily. She tires easily and isn't able to remember if she has watered the plants or not. She loves to look at the pretty flowers we are now growing. The garden givers her something to look at besides grass.
We have some feral cats in the back yard which add to Mom's entertainment. She sometimes helps my husband feed them and then watches them play. She loves animals and misses her feral cats, chickens, and peacock.
He is patient, kind, considerate, gentle, understanding, caring, respectful, and an all around good guy. I really can't do this with out him. Thank you, Hubby!
Jeff has been great. I witnessed it first hand when I visited in January. We had a lot of fun together with mom, Jeff, and sometimes Jeri, putting a puzzle together. He is kind and also allows each of us our own role and space. Thank you Jeff!
