Hank and I took Friday afternoon off to go talk with the folks at the group home that Ned will be moving into at the end of the month. This hasn't been like "shopping" for mother's room...this is a brand new home so we can't see it "in action" prior to his moving in. We're acting on faith and I have to tell you...all your well wishes and particularly the prayers are working miracles. Mother is much more calm about this than I thought that she would be...she called several times the first two days after we told her that the time had come but she's settled down. There is no explanation other than the power of prayer!!We are very pleased! We chose the bedroom in the back corner that had two windows. Ned has a lot of Carolina and Clemson things in his room at home so we'll move those along with whatever else he wants to take. He will be able to walk over and see mother anytime he wants but we are going to discourage her going over to his house too much...can't have her trying to take charge or contridicting what the caregivers tell the guys. It's Ned's house...mother can't think of him as anything other than her baby but I'm convinced that he is going to blossom and grow and surprise the heck out of everybody with what he is capable of doing on his own. Enjoy the photos...
It looks like a very comfortable place for Ned and once he gets all of his belongings in, he will be so relieved to be on his own. He will make friends easily and if not he can still hang out with mom.
ReplyDeleteHow nice! Looks very open and the two windows in his room should be nice too. So glad you mom is handling it well. Will continue to keep y'all in my prayers!
ReplyDeleteLooks VERY nice... I;m sure you really like that its brand new too... sounds like God has this under control!! Glad to hear your mom is handling it all well too!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a wonderful place! I'm sure he will love the room with his belongings in it.
ReplyDeleteoh, I am so glad that I have been going over blogs again tonight.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a really nice home for Ned.
Praying for smooth transitions!
Oh Belle! I am just now catching up. I wish I would of been praying, but it sounds like y'all have had them answered.
ReplyDeleteI am so happy for Ned, this is going to be wonderful for him. And you as well.
Ned new home is very nice. Once he has his personal items in place, it will become his home and he'll feel very comfortable. I'm glad your mother is handling this so well. I'm sure that takes a huge load off of you.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the rest of your weekend,
Jo
It looks like a lovely place. I know that you will be glad when everyone is settled. Prayer is such a powerful thing and I will continue to keep you and your family in mine.
ReplyDeleteThis Looks really great. I bet he loves it. It will be so nice for him to have your mom close too. But not too close. You and Hank are very smart to have found this for them both.
ReplyDeleteI like the look of Ned's new home. Plus, it's brand new. I like that. I agree with the others, it will feel more like home when Ned get's his own belongings in his room and he gets settled in.
ReplyDeleteAmazing what the power of prayer can do, isn't it??
I really think it will be just perfect once he gets all of this stuff in there. I truly hope this will work out for everyone and relieve some of your stress!
ReplyDeleteIt looks perfect.
ReplyDeleteIt is wonderful....everything is falling into place. I am sure your brother will make great friends there AND he will have your Mother close by. The best of all worlds!
ReplyDeleteHave a glass of sweet tea (or something like that) and enjoy your night.
This looks very nice, when Ned gets his own things in there I think he's going to love it. And I agree with you 100%, once he's allowed to spread his wings, people are going to be amazed at what he can accomplish. God bless you and your entire family. Kathy
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a really nice place. I'm sure Ned will be really happy there. I'll bet you just wish this was all over. I'll be keeping you and your family in my prayers!
