today's the last day
My husband just left and before he did he gave me advice - stay away from anyone you don't want to talk to today... i will do my ever loving best to do that. I just want to go gently into that good nite - just want closure with my residents, my unit and the 2 unit cats. Now i won't tell the residents anything other that i am 'going on vacation' and that i love and will miss them - b/c as much as they have to deal with their dementia - they don't need another loss. They have always been good about me going on vacation and by then some will forget me and some will still look for me but soon there will be another person in my place and they can take over where i left off. Well i'm the tears are beginning so i need to stop writing now... tonight i am going to a play with an old friend Pam and this will take my mind off it and celebrate too!

Your husband has given you good advice, Lisa. Make this day what you want, follow your plan and you will have a successful day. Nothing wrong with tears, you are leaving behind a place where your were comfortable. Try to enjoy interacting with the people (and cats!) that made your job so nice. I will be thinking of you today!
