Hello Generous People,
My name is David. I am in a situation right now that was very unexpected. In 2016
I have met a wonderful woman, got the job I applied for in 2013 and I moved into a house that I bought. This wonderful woman that I have met Blessed me with a great times and a great life. She lives 6 hours away from me and on my time off from work, I would visit her and we would share beautiful times together.
I used to call my mom to check on her and see how she was doing. She would always tell me she was okay and she was living just fine. Me and my friend took a trip to Vegas. When we returned I took her to meet my mother. We went to her house, and I was a little shocked. Her kitchen door was falling off the hinges, her toilet and sink upstairs was clogged and her tub and shower was very bad. I said to her that she should have told me when I called her, she said to me that she didn’t want to bother me. I was a little upset, and made some calls to have these things fixed. We both felt better after these jobs were finished. I started going over there more often. One day I went over there and I saw a little smoke and was smelling something burning, when I opened the door, the house was smelling of something burning on the stove. She told me she fell asleep while cooking. A couple of weeks later, I moved back in with her because I believed she needs me there with her. One morning I woke up hearing her crying, I quickly went to her room and she told me that she couldn’t remember her prayers. I really felt bad for her. I took her to her doctor, and she diagnosed her with dementia. This has been very hard for me, working full time, cooking for me and my mom, taking her to church, and food shopping. I have no free time to talk with or visit my good friend and right now i believe I lost her. I went to see my mom Saturday to check on her and make her dinner coming from work. I picked her up to take her to church Sunday and now I know that I have and gave her covid. I took some time off and my job told me that I could come back even if I am positive as long as I wear a mask. I always wore 2 mask anyway. The situation I am in right now is I want to take care of my mother full time, make her breakfast, lunch and dinner. Take her for walks, maybe the gym, sit and talk with her. She is 85. I have a mortgage right now, around 68,000 and I didn’t plan on quitting my job, but my mom needs me. She was always there when I needed her, now I want to be with her when she needs me. Please Help!
