After a busy and fun time with all the family - opening gifts, eating and eating, having some of the family talk to him Mac said quietly to me, exactly that - how will we get back home. In a way it was good, he realized he was not home...but then on the other hand when we are home he is not always sure where we are..but at least on Christmas he knew - this was not home. So eventually we did leave the party at our daughter Glenna's and finally he was happily in bed in his own home.
A lovely Christmas for both of us, with many gifts and such a pleasure to see all of our grandchildren - of course for Mac this is sometimes confusing, who are the grandchildren - who are the children - but still he knows baby Finley, she the great grandchild was in perfect form, and entertained us all with her charming little ways . Her complete happiness chuckling and laughing when her uncle Brandon lifts her up and tosses her in the air, kisses her neck, she gave us all such a good time, but soon it was her bedtime and we all sadly had to wave goodbye to the sweet little Christmas Angel.
Since Christmas it's been a good two days, and although we are snowed in for sure, we still or i still try to get Mac to walk, so it's walk around and look at all the snow, through every window in the house. Trying on his new clothes, watching a movie on t.v. and just sleeping, has taken up most of mac's day. We did talk about Christmases past, way past. The times when we would go by taxi with all the presents for his large family, he remembered that and we talked about the fun of seeing the lights on all the beautiful homes as we drove along. Then joining his 3 sisters that lived in montreal, their husbands, and their children...now his family are gone and so are mine, and we two orphans enjoyed talking about the past, now we two orphans have our own family..and he can hardly remember who they are as we are now so many....hey i said to mac look what we started.
While on this blog, we got a call from our old friend Owen, from down under....he spoke with Mac and the whole conversation was coherent, mac remembered him, so now we will discuss the visit we will have when Owen comes to stay with us in May or June. so on to memories about Owen. g'nite.
