Robin's mom has left the town she has been living in for the past 14 years and has moved back to Nova Scotia. It's a big change for her in so many aspects, but she has taken it all so well. We're all thrilled that she is staying so positive. She knows that she has lost her independence and she is remaining gracious and even humorous. She has always liked to laugh and it seems as though her playful nature is coming to the forefront.
After we finished unpacking this afternoon and we headed home, we continued to talk about her spirit and the people she is surrounded by. I really wish I could document some of the hilarious stories and things people say. I'm afraid it would come out a bit disrespectful, but she and her "housemates" over the summer are just so funny. Some of them are funny because of their crankiness. And then others are humourous because of their mental confusion.
Today as we were leaving her new "house", one lady followed us down the hallway. There is a locked door that needs a special code and as we left, she snuck in behind us, and caught the door. While we were waiting for the elevator she opened the door with a big grin on her face.
"It's never done that before!"
I think she was so tickled with herself for catching us off guard. She just shut the door and walked back down the hallway. Undoubtedly chuckling the whole time. Because the lock down unit wasn't very secure with us newbies around.
