Sophie wants to come home, now. She's out of acute care and was moved to a rehab facility about a month ago. She's made progress, from what Ben describes, and that is encouraging. We all miss her.
It's been a very busy couple of months. We all found that taking over all the business and tasks that Sophie managed has practically taken an army! (I am prone to exaggeration when I am happy!)
Ben has been on the move constantly, getting the house adapted for handicapped access, learning how to do all of the things Sophie took care of, taking care of his own business, not to say of himself, and now, renting out two apartments. He spends the majority of everyday with her in the rehab center and sometimes even spends the night. And one of their two daughters is normally there to help out-no small thing considering they live out of state and have families of their own.
Soon, it will be ready. The house is cleaned top to bottom, the garden tended and flowers planted, the car is being adapted for a wheelchair, the downstairs transformed into her rooms, including the bath. Every step along the way, people talk about Sophie with a smile. It seems that we all want to do things up to her standards, which were very high. But, as much as we try, we'll never be able to do it as well as she did!
I hope to soon go and see her. I held back because, from day to day, she had enough to deal with. But it seems to have leveled off and I hope to see her this coming week. I do miss her!
