Why is it that we are so alone sometimes?

I am married to a wonderful 81 year old. He is lovely and couldn't love me more! But ... there are things he just can't or better shouldn't do. And then I shouldn't do most of those things either. My back is in all kinds of troubles if I do.

By way of explanation ... We needed to move a concrete flower pot with a cornifer which is about 4 feet tall - the thing is heavy!! So what can we do? DH with his none-existant balance and me with my troubled spine...

We have nobody we can ask to come and do it for us, so we just did it. And now I can barely move ... Thankfully DH is OK!

But it made me think ... we are alone really. It makes me all the more thankful that my mom is not so alone and has folks she can ask to help her!

Well, we have moved the cornifer and now I can keep an eye on the furbaby when he is in the garden! I am glad about that!
