Lunch

I took Mom out to lunch at Olive Garden.  Pat joined us.  I had invited him but I didn't expect him to show up.  And then he did.  So when he arrived he made mom move over so he could sit down.  She moved over a little bit.  He kind of got her to move a little further in the booth.
I was sitting across from her so I got to watch what happened in her head.  She did not know who he was at first.  You could see her trying to process this man making her move.  And she sat there for a few moments and then you could watch it change while something clicked in her brain.  And then she was at ease and leaned on him. 
I'm afraid we are going to see a lot more of this and not spread out.  She has been on this road for a long time and it has been a long slow road.  But it almost feels like the slow time is done.  Time will tell, but in the meantime we will do what we can and see her while we can.
