If you’ve been following along, you might recall that taking Burt to a park was my favorite project.
Burt had always been- not in the flannel shirt/camping way but in the New York City style- an outdoors guy. He loved to walk. He and I loved sitting watching the river traffic pass.
We had been doing this for years. As his mobility suffered, getting outside was a greater challenge for me. Our weekend aide, L came on board last May to help with that. We called him Burt’s driver. Usually, Burt would walk part of the way, up the big ramp out the back and from there get driven.
We went out every Saturday and Sunday and then we went out to Sedutto’s for ice cream on the way home; a couple of times, we had ice cream in a park.
I think the fun we had improved our quality of life immensely.
this is our life
