I arranged for Anthony to be wheel-chair taxied home today for the third time this week. We are doing this so often lately that it is becoming the new norm. Anthony arrives here at 2pm and is taxied back to the nursing lodge at 4.30pm.
There have been numerous logistical glitches with this arrangement, but it’s getting smoother.
When Ants arrives, it takes awhile to get him out of the taxi, but once he is on the front veranda, it’s like the good old days – just the two of us.
Today, Ants saw Ming before milking, then we visited his nephew’s family, then we came back home to have a drink before the taxi arrived and, for the first time, Ants accepted he had to go back to the nursing lodge.
We hugged and kissed goodbye but there were no tears from either of us – phew.
Anthony was/is my first and only love. He continues to make my heart beat faster. I am so lucky!

Much easier – thank you!
That last line is so beautiful Jules. True love.

what wonderful news… a happy visit that does not end with sorrow… I’m so happy for you…
It is getting better.
One of the good days.
Thanks for understanding.
It sounds like that routine is working out pretty well!
Much better!
This is so heart melting, so happy that you have more quality time together – and I’m so happy that you heart beats faster still. I love this post, so positive and happy … the Julie, I want in my life .. so often as possible.
I’ll try!
Julie, I know you try … so hard all the time. *smile
I am so pleased this arrangement is working is well. We have one life: it’s so important to find happiness while we can; but I continue to admire the way you tackle the challenges before you, Julie.
I’m developing a bit of common sense (not my forte!)
I think it is wonderful that you are able to have him taxied home for a couple of hours during the day and that he is getting use to having to go return to the nursing lodge after the visit is over
It is such a great arrangement!
Yes, you are incredibly lucky.
I find it so uplifting and warming to find 2 people still in love after so many years.
I agree and am getting more grateful every day.
that is definitely true love!!!! You are so lucky!
I am!
It’s lovely that this is all becoming a little easier for you, Julie. I can just imagine how wonderful it is for you two to sit on the veranda together just like old times 😉
The front veranda is our favourite place.
A very sweet story. Made my day! 🙂
Yay!
Progress!
You bet!
So happy for you that the home visits are getting easier. Love is such a beautiful state of being, isn’t it? 🙂
It sure is.
Positive news and a positive event!
Thanks, Frank.
He’s lucky too. You two are rare–made for each other.
I agree!
I hear and feel that you are again in a happy place; albeit different than before when he was home all the time. You seem to be in a comfortable routine of seeing each other and making the best of all the precious moments that you can spend together.
Sooooo glad for you >>>:)
Thanks, Elizabeth – I’m glad too!
🙂
You do make me smile! I love this post! xo!
We are fortunate – those of us who have known true love 🙂
