Elliot told me he wanted to go to Abos by himself. But he needed me to go with him first so he could learn the way. Then the next time he went , he’d take my phone and use the map on it.
We went early by scooter and bicycle. It was a long trip. We took the sidewalk, not the bike path.
Elliot asked me to wait outside, to give him money so he could order alone.
Looking for the crosses
The gym
The ride back. Resting by the waterfall.
Meditating – twice – by Elliot’s request outdoors.
“Everybody day is a gift and God made it.”
“I love nature”
Going to O’Fallen Park. Exploring. Picnic. The abandoned chimney he liked.
Going to the frog pool. He asked me to play music that makes me cry, like Time In a Bottle and songs by Barbara Streisand, Barry Manilow, etc. from my “old family”
He told me my mother is in my heart. God is always with me. And, “You have me now.”
Hiding in the lockers at the frog pool: he doesn’t fit n in the small ones anymore. He’s 48” and 53-54 pounds now, just like my age.
Coming home late and making dinner. He wants to watch and I’m all too happy to give it to book with so many hours outdoors today.
