Woke up to a sunny day, and although it changed later, it gave us a lift for sure to see the sun this morning. Mac said, I've been dreaming, it's been dream dream dream all night. My dreams are such that now I'm wondering, where am I ...I answered 384 Montcalm that's where we live, right here in Chateauguay, so how were your dreams, were they good dreams'... Well yes and no, I dreamt I was in St. Henri, but I'm not so that's not so good. I was happy in St. Henri. Well, we were in St. Henri, do you remember we were there.? Surprise, he answered this, yes, I remember I went into the house I lived in, the man was very nice he took us all around my old house. That's right, it was a few days ago, I'm so happy you remembered.
he went on to say he remembered that he used to have a candy type of store that was not too far - just around the corner. He continued saying - A kind of depanneur and they had delivery. The boy used to come on his bike, my mother could phone and ask to have several scoops of icecream and imagine they would deliver it to us. Wow, i was thrilled to hear this and it's true, i remember his mom told me that she used to just sometimes ask for two scoops of icecream it would be delivered...So happy memories for Mac this morning.
Although, he got a bit sad as he was getting dressed, saying, 'how did i get here? Well i went through the routine of when and how we got together and i said, we're old now you know. That's why it's not so easy to remember where we are and so on, you are an old man now and I am an old lady...but I'm glad you are my old man, and he said, "so am i, and I'm glad you are my old lady...and we had a great laugh and hug, and with that he said "who is that man who likes to help us. I said, do you mean Leslie, Yes, that's the man, he seems to be a nice guy'.. i said of course he is because leslie is our SON. He will be coming this week to see us. Oh said Mac, that's good, why.. Well he is our financial planner...i almost thought i made a booboo there and we would be off and running on the subject of his pension. happily no...he just wanted to check his wallet and then go for breakfast.
The day continued quite nicely, except that although yesterday we marched around in the cold for one hour and a half, after getting our flu shots...today we walked for two blocks and Mac said...too cold let's go home and so we did...after first picking up pictures of him in St. henri, talking to the man who showed us around mac's old home....and so it goes...
I think that i should perhaps make a list of all the fun things that do happen in our day so that the family, friends and others who read the blog do not get too sad..in fact i have a couple who say they have to stop reading it makes them too upset. Well sorry but that's part of the scenariio, but i will try for others who are going through this to perhaps use some of our ideas for their own problem. BUT it is Mac's memories and so perhaps if I add a few of mine to his, it may make for lighter reading...so for now, g'nite.
