Musings

Company has gone home after a hectic two week vacation filled with non-stop activity, laughs, boogie boarding, shopping and eating out. Now the house had returned to its usual quiet and it seems so strange and lonely. I remember a time when I was a full-time caregiver and prayed and hoped for quiet, but right now it doesn’t seem so great. I miss the companionship of people and it reminds me of the lonely days of caregiving with an emotionally absentee husband – no fault of his own. While I was always on high alert for his possible wandering and getting into things, I basically lived alone, and it was lonely. Now I am use to it and actually cherish the time I have, but I am missing the company and remembering the loneliness of caregiving.
