A First

Mother invited me to take a walk.  A long walk for her now is around the block.  She likes to walk in the afternoon. Sometimes, if the weather is nice, she and the caregivers take several short walks a day.

I went with her and Marcie around the block. Halfway around the block she said "I have children." I was surprised to hear this, since she used to deny this strenuously. She said "They come over and then there's alot." I said "Your children bring alot of people when they visit?" She said "Yes. They act real nice, then......" and she shrugged. 

"And then they leave?" I asked. "Yes." she said.
