The next two days drastically changed in terms of the focus. We were very grateful we were in Rochester to be helpful, as well as Patti’s sister. Paula was back from her leg cabin to get some dental work done and so she was available. And then the main stay was Patti’s brother, Perry. He lives three blocks away from Mom and is her primary caregiver. He does an amazing job.
The next two days consisted of taking shifts of spending time with our mother at the local hospital. There Patti, Paula, and Perry worked together as a team splitting shifts to have time there supporting Mom.
So following an opportunity to be at the hospital to say goodbye,Perry, and Paula supported Patti and Dick continuing on our way as was our original plan. We needed to start our journey home which will happen over the next week and a half and include about 3000 miles.
Early afternoon on the ninth brought us to our suite Airbnb home in South Minneapolis. There we would settle in for several days of resting and visit visiting friends.
The visit to Rochester didn’t end the way we had helped. But we were grateful to be able to do a little to help with the family. Oh, it’s so hard to be so far away from family as their age.
Early afternoon on the ninth brought us to Minneapolis. We could see a variety of signs that clearly linked to the struggle with ICE earlier in the year. South Minneapolis, where we are staying, was a the heart of ICE action, including where they killed two people. We will visit those sites over the next few days. We found our Airbnb home in where we would settle in for several days of resting and visit visiting friends.
