<p>My mother ended up not coming home from the nursing home for Thanksgiving, she just wasn’t up for it. Which was sad, since this will most likely be her last Thanksgiving, but in a way a relief - I was dreading trying to keep her comfortable and putting on the dinner at the same time. Our home is not handicapped accessible and she is not able to sit up for long periods of time.</p>
<p>But we brought desserts up to her afterward that she really enjoyed, and I think we’ll just do the same for Christmas, assuming she is still with us. She was happy to see S, who stopped in to see her - she hadn’t seen him since the summer.</p>
