I've been keeping quiet about this situation, but, I've been reading a lot
on the list about caregivers so I thought I would spout off. August 8th, my
caregiver apparently decided she had enough. I came home from a meeting around
10:30 PM, this was on a Friday, and no one was home. I valled my wife's cell
phone as she is usually home by this time, and it went directly to voice
mail. I looked in her room, and saw that her Computer was gone, so, I
immediately
thought someone had broken in. I called the Police to file a report, but
then I noticed her pet bird was gone. After reading all the signs that were
right in front of me, I came to the conclusion that she had left. I called my
Granddaughter to see what she knew, and she confirmed, the wife was gone. So,
I
walk into an empty house, no warning, no note, just gone. Now, a month after
this, she sends $500 to my Granddaughter for bus fare, so her and my Grandson
can come to California. Well, they left about a week later with the
intention of coming back in a months time. Needless to say, they're still
there after
three months.
My birthday is the 25th of this month, and it'll be the first time in three
years that my Grandson wont be with me. It's not so much that the wife
deserted me, but she enticed my Grandkids to go to California with her, so,
here I
am, back where I started. That little boy and I had a bond, no one could
break, so I thought. Little did I know. Those of you that have caregivers
staying
at your side through good and bad times, relish them. Let them know every
day how you appreciate what sacrifice thay're making. Oh yeah, the wifw
calles
a couple weeks ago wanting me to send her $100 to get her air conditioner
fixed in her car. After I threw up, I told her what I thought about the way
she
left, and thanked her for being so considerate. I guess i'll never see any
of them again. I don't want to be vindictive, but, what goes around, comes
around. As for her, I couldn't care less, but I'm sure gonna miss that little
boy. Enough sad stories, let's get back to normal.
