Happy 80th Birthday Pink G!

On Oct 1st, PG turned 80 years old. Wow 80 years. It's really too bad that we live so far away from our family. It would have been fun to have everyone see PG on her birthday...except that (have I mentioned?) she's Jehovah's Witness (JW). JWs don't celebrate birthdays...So, while I was at work, I called SSIL and asked him to take PG a bouquet of flowers in the morning to wish her a happy birthday. PG is more with it in the early part of the day. So he did and after I got home from work, we went to visit her again. It was about 5:30 pm and we walk into her room and I say, "Hi mom, how are you doing? Happy Birthday, today is your birthday." She replies, "So that's why you're here." As if I never come to visit. Then, we sit and try to visit, but she's laying on the bed and keeps falling asleep while we're there. Thankfully, my brother calls while we're there (I was running out of things to say), and wishes her a happy BD. We stay about another 1/2 hour after his call and go home. What a way to spend a birthday. We can't even bring her to our house, she's not suppose to bare weight on her leg from the surgery--seeing her lay there, I realize it doesn't matter anyway. She really doesn't want to do anything. We tried to get her to go listen to a guy who came to entertain the residents by playing the piano and organ--she wouldn't go. The aides told me that they tried to get her to go before we got there. Oct 1st was just like any other old day.
