Wonderwoman

My mother married a wonderful man three years ago. They are happy as two peas in a pod. They listen to Clark Howard. Clark Howard said that real estate in Melbourne, FL was a good buy. So as not to let anyone else get the better deal, they scooted right on down to Melbourne. Have you ever heard of Melbourne? It is on the Atlantic, south of Cape Canaveral and north of Vero Beach. They bought an oceanfront condo. They packed a few belongings and headed south. One week after their purchase, mom's husband had a stroke. Now my mom is in great health. But...this is a new city, she doesn't have the phone hooked up. Her support system is not in place. But by golly she masters it. After 4 days, he is moved from the hospital to a rehabilitation center. She visits everyday. Does the laundry. Receives guests...his kids, my brother, me. He is making great progress. Now he is back at the condo. She takes him to rehab 3 times a week. She knows where the hospital, the airport, the rehab center, Target and Publix are located. She has even done a little decorating in her spare time. She goes to the beach everyday and checks on the sea turtles. When I was there, we saw the turtle tracks and nests. We even saw a gull with a baby turtle in it's peak. She takes her beach chair and beer and has a little cocktail hour on the beach. She paints. She is remarkable and her husband is lucky to have her in his corner. We all are...she's my hero...... Wonderwoman.
