Timothy's stay at Blue Care...

Timothy feeding the birds at Queen Mary Falls. :)

This week Timothy has spent four nights at Cooinda in Warwick... Boy do they do an excellent job there. I so appreciate this place as I know that I would not be able to get this sort of service if we still lived in Springfield... It just isn't there. There is just too a high a demand for it and not enough beds, so to speak... This house has three clients a night and carers that take shifts during the night. He has matured over the time that he has spent there and is really good with the rules. If he knows them he is fine... As long as he knows them... This time again he was a very good boy and is always welcome back...

They did some excursions... Allora Pool, Queen Mary Falls, Killarney, Bush Walking and WIRAC (swimming at Warwick Public Pool). He even came home with the pictures above so prove he had a good time... Some show and tell :)

He said he had a great time... And Joshua and I can say that we had a great time as well. Lazy days, no stress, no fuss, no timetable and no stringent schedule to stick too. It was pure heaven. :)

And also must mention that without Commonwealth Respite these little breaks that we get 3 or 4 times a year would not be possible without them. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart.

Saw someone today that had not seen me since before the holidays and he couldn't believe just how relaxed I was. Radiant, he called it :) Yes, this break has been wonderful...

Joshua was busting to get to him though. He had missed him terribly in the end. Never the first couple of days but by the fourth you know they are hankering for each other...

Timothy called out "Home, sweet home" as we drove up the driveway... We had missed him and he had missed us. Made the reunion all the better. :)

They are now happily playing on RuneScape. They love playing that computer game online together... :)

Am optimistic the peace will last a while... One can hope anyway lol.

Cheers Damaris
