Nice weather, H.E.A.T and Mom visits

We have had really nice weather this week, so far, and it's now getting almost too hot, at least for me. Today we reached 30C and since we don't have any aircond it's not easy to be in the house. Therefore it's nicer to drive :-)

Yesterday me and Jona went down to see my Mom. She has been very ill and since Jona is out touring he wanted to go there because you never know when it's going to be the last time.
Funny enough she was quite cheerful and recognized Jona as the one playing and asked if he was out playing. She doesn't remember names but she does know our faces. I love this photo of my Mom and Jona. It's really love and they both looks so happy :-)
We sat with her for a couple of hours chatting away mostly about old times. It was very nice.
Afterwards we went to Danniel and had lunch together all three of us. Jona and I also did some shopping before heading home.

Of course Jona forgot what he had bought so today I brought it to him since he needed it this weekend when they are performing. I promised I would take him to Eric in Kista but before that we visited Jimmy in his and Karin's new flat. It was just wonderful. So tastefully decorated although not many furnitures since they just moved in.
Then we went to Jysk and Stalands to look for some furnitures and an overlay mattress. We didn't buy anything but Jona got a feel for what he wants in his new flat.
Then on to Eric and I went up and saw his and Stina's flat as well. Very nice too.

When I returned home there had been several calls for me among them one from Mom's elderly home who told Hasse she was very upset and sad and wanted to talk to someone so they called Danniel. He was kind and went down to talk to her. When he arrived she was very surprised and had forgotten all about it.

That is what is so sad about Alzheimer's. They can be so upset and the next minute they have forgotten everything about it.

Saturday is Helen's birthday and we are both going to Mom and celebrate it. I haven't worked out what to buy her yet but I will think of something. I usually do :-) I'm not too keen on giving "things". We do have too much of that. I want to give something to remember. It could be a concert, a theater, a musical, a day at a spa or even an overnight stay and of course I will accompanie her, lol.

Do you my readers have any suggestions? I leave you with that to ponder on. Talk to you soon.

Anyone??

I wonder if anyone can see and read my blogg? I haven't had any comments in so long that's why I ask. Erik didn't win a Grammy last night but he had a blast and he and his fiancé looked just great! Another Swede, Ludwig Göransson, won 3 prices though. Congrats to him.

On popular demand

I have on popular demand decided to start writing again. I haven't had time to do this blog for a lot of reasons mostly lack of time. There is so much to do and so little time. Since I last wrote there have been a big change and it's my grandson. Yes, I'm a granny now to the most adorable boy, Eddie. He's now 19 months old and I love him to the moon and back. He's my joy and I'm so happy I can see him grow. I have really been there from the moment he was born (almost). Always on the piano the first thing he do. His parents called me the morning of April 23 last year at 0415AM and said it was time. So I just rushed out of bed, drove to them and then drove them to the hospital. It was a long day before we they called and told us that Eddie was born in the evening. Only 1 1/2 day later I fetched them and drove the new little family home. Since they don't have a car I have driven them where they want to go. The first 6 months were quite difficult wi...

Sad day

Tonight Olle, my adoptive father that has been like my father almost all my life, died just before 9PM. It was very quick. I talked to the nurse at 6PM and everything was calm then. Just a bit over 2 hours later she called and said he's gotten worse. I asked how and she said his skin changed colour and that he could have 10 minutes or 10 hours left. I was just trying to get to my sister on the phone and ask her if we should go down when the phone rang again just 15 minutes afterwards and it was the nurse telling me that it was over. He went very peacefully and in his sleep. At the end he was given a lot of morphine so he wouldn't be in pain, which he wasn't. I called my sister but we both felt that we already had said our goodbyes and therefore didn't go down to say a last goodbye. He is probably up there somewhere looking down and sensing our feelings. We haven't been able to reach our mother yet and we probably won't tonight so I will tell her when I go there ...
