The Comfort of Family & Friends
Now that Dani is back home in San Antonio, she feels more ready to be
on her own. She went out to eat all by herself on Friday for lunch,
and spent an hour reading at Starbucks in the evening. She is finding
it's kind of nice to treat herself to special little things here and
there.
She has also decided that it just might be fun cooking for one person
and has found a bunch of healthy, delicious sounding recipes. She
enjoyed shopping for the ingredients and even picked up a bottle of
wine to compliment the food she would be preparing. :)
Dani has had fun playing, walking and hanging-out with Cooper (the
dog). They have been going over about once a day to visit with the
great people who work in our apartment community's office. She also
has some church friends who want to do fun stuff from time to time.
Another helpful activity, is Dani's unexpected new job! It's a very
part-time, very flexible job at Homewood, the assisted living center
where she currently volunteers. They needed someone to go to
doctor's appointments with some of their less capable residents to
make sure no one gets lost or confused, and also to make sure the
doctor's instructions get relayed back correctly. She will continue
to volunteer for leading morning exercises, but will be paid for
helping the residents at their doctor's appointments.
Being with family and friends in Colorado really helped Dani to move
on with a positive perspective once she returned to Texas. Below is a
link to some pics from her trip. Thanks to all for your love and support!

Dani, now that you are back in Texas, remember that you are ALWAYS welcome here in Austin! You have a lot of family here who love you and want very much to "be there" for you. Any time you feel like it, come and visit! We love you very much!
Aunt Jackie and Uncle LD
We were sooo glad to have you here and glad that both you and Cooper seemed to be in good spirits when you left. I know that it is good to be back home with your own things and your own routine.
A neighbor, Gay Lowery, two houses this way from Barb, told me today that she is praying for Sean! I told her we really appreciate all prayers.
I love you!
Mom
We were glad we got to see you in Colorado and hope it will work out that we can see you again this fall up here. Sounds like the trip helped you transition to the temporary Alone Time. When Sean comes back you'll have to transition back again to Together Time, which will take just as much adjustment. The only thing constant in life is change!
Love you, Melinda
