Just another entry

The other night she woke up, started to sit up in bed.  Then she scooted toward the foot of the bed.  I asked her if she was ok, no response.  She laid down, away from her pillow and pulled the blankets over her and went back to sleep. Never said a word… Some nights that’s how it is. Some nights she moves so much she will actually turn sideways, taking up quite a bit of space on a bed, like a kid would.  Other nights she never seems to move, maybe a sound or two, but remains in the same position she was when she went to bed…

Then there was tonight. When I got there she was in bed but still awake.  She started to get up and I asked if she needed anything. She asked me who was here with here, I said Karen, your neighbor.  She said she was all alone, but I told her no, that her daughter was here. She asked if I was going to stay with her because she was alone. I said yes and she thanked me and said she didn’t know I cared so much about her.  “Of course I do.” And she took my hand and rested.  I don’t know at what point she finally fell asleep, I just know she did.
