Moving Great Aunt Pearl and Great Uncle Herb to Sussex

At home in the new place

After 70 years of marriage and living in the same house for all those years, my Aunt Pearl and Uncle Herb moved into an apartment in Sussex yesterday to be close (Right across the courtyard, to be exact) to their son and daughter in law. There really was no other options except a nursing home since they can no longer take care of themselves without some help. They are both in their nineties. Still even when we know that this is the best thing for them it does not make it an easy thing to do. They came over to our house yesterday while their belongings were loaded up and moved out. So many memories in a house that you lived in for all those years, the only house they knew as a married couple! Tizu was here and she created such a nice diversion for them. She entertained as only a two year old can. Even though Pearl suffers from Alzheimer's she was still able to enjoy little Tizita. At around 4:00 we got the call that everything was in place in their new home and we could bring them "home." We all enjoyed supper at Culver's and then we took them "home." It is really a very large, comfortable apartment and I hope they feel at home there very soon. As God has taken care of them for the past 90+ years, He will continue to do so.
