This was a different spot... not as far to drive. The girls and I hung out in the van..... Talked to a Border Patrol that came cruising through.... He heard the dogs but didn't see me.
I didn't get time to make and bring coffee or lunch but my daughter brought me her electronic hand held game thing-y.....after a nap I decide to see if I could figure out how it worked......
Didn't take long before I was playing word games against a timer...next thing I knew Tom appeared below the hill where they launch the boats......they had their limits.
Tom was happy he had fish but I'm afraid he burned his bridges with them taking him fishing again....... (he took their fish too) I can't say I blame them......
This disease changes who they are/were......... I call him my problem child these days. I love him even when he's naughty...... he can't help that his brain is broke.
*************************************************
I can see this is going to be a lonely journey.... Tom breaks every relationship I mend. I'm running out of bandades........It's not his fault but it is such a hard disease to understand as it changes the person who has it.
There's days I don't like him either and would rather not share the same space.... But I still love him and understand it's the disease not him....
Right now he is where he wants what he wants and if he can will just take it justifying it by saying.... I want it.
That's the short version... he can go on and on with a big temper tantrum too..... I hear he was good at it as a boy. He ALWAYS won. Hmmmm!
So I am coming up with a new vocabulary that does not include the words...NO and CAN"T and any words that are related in any way..... yet manage to divert the situation without a demonstration on his part........
ummmm....... I'm still working on it.
